Grip the Doorknob Marcia Taylor

For some years Marcia has been writing funny poems, most of which are collected in this book. Topics are varied and include observations on bad tattoos, aging bikers, sheep shearing, murderous cats, tasty rodents, Brussels sprouts, and square dancing in the ER. More serious poems touch on autism, memory loss, chaos, freezing your ears off, and how little boys are drawn to war. Audience favourites seem to be those in which someone, or something, comes to an untimely end. Titles include: And Little Pink Piggies Can Fly, Autistic, Biker Rules, Chaos, Autistic, Don't Risk Everything for a Moment of Pleasure, Food Dilemmas, Green Bin Blues, If Every Kiss Were Magic, Murderin' Minnie, My Love is Not a Red Rose, I'm On the Outs With Brussels Sprouts, Sorting Through Clothes on a Summer's Evening, Spring Cleaning, The Romantic Tale of Piggoletto and Porcina, My Luv 4 U, Pup in Da Hood, Fountain of Youth.
