There are thirty poems in "If You Like to Laugh, Volume One", most of them humorous. The length of the verses ranges from a single stanza to stories that are several pages long. There are unforgettable people in this book, from the early elementary student who explains with comforting logic "The greatest day in American history" to Maddie, the sweet visitor to America whose overwhelming love for her beloved teacher will touch you even as you are rolling on the floor with laughter. There is something for everyone in this book and I believe you will treasure many of these poems for the rest of your life.
