In this one you’ll go all the way from reminiscently looking at an Afterimage to uncomfortably listening to a Zookeeper’s Tale! Also, in this “A through Z” arrangement you’ll yet again equi-vocally encounter that same still “strange and often epileptically eclectic selection of richly mixed subjects, topics and treatments “ this writer had and still has at various times “felt some compelling need to put on paper for his own relief and the possible amusement or edification of ‘imagined others’ “ You may already be a member of this group or have promising potential for becoming one. If you’ve favorably sampled a few then this may be just the book for you or someone you know or once knew. But, caveat time, if you should have an insensitivity, let alone active dislike for heavy use of rhyme and alliteration in your random recreational reading matter then this book is definitely not for you. As I’ve previously advised, most especially to any braille reader for whom it might prove “toxic to touch” put it down immediately and move on to another safer shelf or pile. But seriously, this collection does offer a rich, full spectrum of the silly and the serious often tightly word woven within the blending body of the same composition making for a medley or mosaic of meanings often in a meandering, sometimes mildly morbid but more often, I hope, musically amusing monolog. I characterized my original collection of poem-pieces as a “runic ragout of wry rhyme writings” and this still seems adequately apt for this grouping. Of course, when it comes to the consumption of ragouts, there can be no disputing that it remains a matter of tastes. Yes, it’s still a De gustibus issue! So once again, may my critics please forbear and accept a little more saucy Ogden Nash-hash here and preferably without too much unsavory or dumb disputandum … and/or fusstibus!

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to ThriftBooks-Dallas, Dallas, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
