by Betty Jo Tucker — Read all 96 poems by Betty Jo Tucker

This fun book on Amazon.com is entirely about holidays and it motivated me to write the review poem below.

Poem Artwork

Comedy author tells us how

to get through holidays and now!

At funny bones she sure does aim.

Nancy Lombardo is her name.

HOLIDAY SHORTS she calls her book.

And I for one took up the hook.

Page by page my laughter did grow.

Plus gave me what I need to know.

Filled with tips to sooth holidays

with poems, skits, and more comic ways.

HOLIDAY SHORTS, a darn fine gift.

Don’t forget it’s easy to lift!
