Love Poems for Anxious People by John Kenney

I truly thought this was going to be a bit therapeutic rather than humorous. Oh well, humor can only help anxiety, right?

Love Poems for People with Children by John Kenney

Absolutely Hilarious! A modern heir to Ogdon Nash. I picked this up with browsing for poetry at a local bookstore, and couldn't put it down. Effortlessly fun, and enjoyable to read. I highly recommend it to all those raising children.
