Congratulations! I almost missed this, because when I go to the Books section it only shows me the last three submissions, but I scrolled down for some reason--intuition?--And found your first publication.
That's an interesting cover, reflecting your humor. I like the description, but I think the excerpt should be a couple of the poems that got a lot of readership. I think some of them might have even gone viral like the one I sent on friends and family last week.
Finally, if you got some reviews from some of the professional reviewers here on the site, you could quote them with their permission. And then later add professional reviews that you received from the book.
Good luck… Ron
Just Some Thoughts On Conservative Media (Article) - 8/3/2020 11:08:05 AM
I don't follow conservative news outlets or liberal channels for that matter, but I have heard and read most of those nickname calling coming from the horse's mouth and his weeks that are republished.
Name-calling is just another word playground bullying. I much prefer the more subtle, satire that you and I are very familiar with.
You have to look at who owns these media outlets and what their objective is. That's why I shy away yellow journalism when I see it. Good journalism sticks to the facts and doesn't resort to name-calling when referring to public figures in the news.

Just Some Thoughts On Conservative Media (Article) - 7/31/2020 1:03:29 PM
If that's the worst they do, it would be bad enough. But they do much worse, like misleading the public for a particular agenda (the promotion of Trump and its residual monetary gain) with lies, lies, lies.
Just a thought on Trump's wall (Article) - 2/1/2019 2:57:44 PM
I believe all this talk of a WALL is just Trump's distraction from the truth that is about to be revealed by the Muller investigation. Trump is a business criminal who has stolen from working people by not paying them, he has lied to contractors he hired, cheated immigrants that worked for him at his golf courses and cut a deal with Russian Oligarchs to finance his presidential campaign. Our problems will not be solved by stopping immigrants, they are not the cause.
Just a thought on Trump's wall (Article) - 1/18/2019 7:48:04 AM
On December 14, 2018, you wrote a short article entitled, “Just a thought on abortion.” In that article you stated, “If abortion had never been legalized, I have to wonder where we would find jobs for all of those people that would have been born.” Allow me to pose the same question regarding a wall. With caravan after caravan of migrants forming in Central America, heading for the United States, how are we to find jobs for all the migrants once they arrive? Further, I live in West Virginia, the state that ranks #1 in deaths from overdosing on illegal drugs. I can name family after family that has been affected in some way—even death. You say there are far better ways of securing our border. Why not use every means possible to stop the flow of illegal drugs into this country? However, some say, “A wall is immoral.” Which is more immoral: a wall or the unnecessary and preventable death and destruction of generation after generation of our precious youth?
David Lee Thompson
Just a thought on Trump's wall (Article) - 1/17/2019 9:42:04 AM
I agree fully. Makes me recall the Iron Curtain in the way that people in Eastern Europe tried so desperately to cross over into other countries, even if they weren't welcome in those countries and sometimes, thought of as communist spies.
In 1956, we accepted a new girl in our eighth grade class. She came from Hungary.
Ron
Just a thought on abortion (Article) - 1/9/2019 6:18:46 AM
I appreciate that you are a deep thinking man Michael but the babies who have been conceived through no choice of their own have no choice in their untimely deaths. Abortion kills the baby and emotionally damages the mother. God who made this earth and the children I believe would somehow manage a way for them to have a life. The same sort of thing happened with the Vietnam war when politicians felt the population needed to be decreased and the young people who would be competing for jobs needed their numbers thinned. I appreciated your honest thoughts even though I cannot agree with them.
Just a thought on abortion (Article) - 12/20/2018 12:37:51 PM
Human society has the ability to take care of all of us and provide all of us with good food, safe housing, health care and education. Even the disabled could be taken care of and contribute to society. But we have an outdated economic system that says none of us are valuable except the greedy rich and powerful. Abortion becomes necessary to women in a society that gives women very little help in raising children. We need to build a better world. Stop greed and excess.
Just a thought on abortion (Article) - 12/15/2018 10:49:38 AM
I agree. The woman has to bear the primary care of the child, even though some men are very good fathers and can take on nearly any task that a woman would do.
I'd rather not think of jobs, but population. Unwanted children tend to be just that, unwanted. The world population is still increasing dangerously. Abortion is a legitimate tool for reducing the number of children a woman may want to have. It is very selfish to think that they should be born into poverty, disease, starvation and suffering.
Finally, I am disabled and have encountered many severely disabled, at birth, young adults who after they were born were either rejected by their parents, or their parents just couldn't take care of them for all their physical needs. Most of them are on inadequate state support and suffer. They spend their lives begging for help. It would be much kinder to either correct their defects before they are born, or not allow the pregnancy to continue.
Ron

As I recall you said this once before. But you are too witty, too charming, too funny, and too much fun to just stop. It's in your blood and in your guts and in your head and in your butt(s). Besides, you are too damned young to just up and stop. I never tire of looking at the butt crack on that ornery kid on your book cover. It reminds me again and again that there is one sane comic writer out there who knows what the hell he's doing with a pen in his hand.

But Mike I will miss your humor, maybe you could pass it on to me, I'd appreciate it and I know other readers would too...take with you of mine whatever you want, you are both welcome to it, and if willing to take it, are crazier than I ever thought you were...-Ed-
Getting The Part (Poetry) - 8/20/2020 7:30:21 PM
Michael,
I’m so sorry to hear you are leaving AD. Since I first discovered your postings, I have been a faithful reader. So many times after reading your poems, I would enjoy reading them a second time by reading them to my wife. By doing this time and again, you have added much laughter and enjoyment of life for two elderly people. I don’t know how well you performed in school, but having taught thirty years, I can detect that you probably did well. I also have the sensation that you were well behaved. No, Michael, I don’t think I have misjudged you. Finally, I want to thank you for all the comments you made on my postings. Unlike some, you always had something kind to say. And for that I shall be forever grateful. I have always felt that it’s just as easy to say something nice to a person as it is to say something negative. With that thought, I bid you farewell, and I certainly wish you, Michael D. Schafer, the best God has to offer.😥
Sincerely,
David Lee Thompson

THe Age Of Despair (Poetry) - 8/9/2020 11:12:52 AM
Perhaps all the bullet points you've outlined as society's malady personified are but scales of justice and morals slowly descending to the bottom. When that rock bottom is reached, as they say, there is only one way to go... up. Otherwise, the scales will become so imbalanced as to become dormant and irrelevant. Such a time may be timed in such a way that AI will become more than just relevant, perhaps amassed artificial intelligence and "reason" will right the scales... at least one can hope.
THe Age Of Despair (Poetry) - 8/6/2020 9:35:22 AM
I prefer it when you write humor. We must remember that news media always reports the worst. I don't see any major meltdown. I do see inequality addressed much more strongly because it is the poorest that are bearing the brunt of the pandemic. I am not hurting at all, nor anyone I know except one writer here.
It will be over, we just need to be patient, loving, helpful to those in need, and respectful of others' thoughts. The pendulum on the right has been there too long and outworn its welcome. The pendulum is destined to swing to the left for at least the next 20 years the pandemic be only a small glitch in the 21st-century compared to clean water and food needs to a growing population and evermore brutal global warming.

It seems like I remember something in the Far East massage houses they called a "wax job." It was a sensual way to get the wax blown out of your ears. I wouldn't know about such things personally. But would you be interested in such things? Probably not. Nope. Not Michael D. No way.

You need to quit having those bees flying in your ears and going to work. Who wants dripping honey running out of your ears, anyway?
Happened to me when I was 18 and had a cold. Went to the local clinic for college students, and the doctor washed my ears out with soap. He told me to come back in another 18 years. Couldn't believe what I heard and hadn't for some time as I walked out of that clinic and onto the street.

Oh boy! Having undergone the same experience, I CAN relate. How refreshing to make a poetic experience out of the humdrum...wait a minute!...scratch that. I meant 'eardrum'. Or, perhaps if it really were permanent hearing loss: "Hear today, gone tomorrow?" Or mebbe, "Lizzie Bordon took her wax and gave her eardrum forty whacks..." Naw. Perhaps add an 'anvil chorus' to it, as well, just to 'stirrup' things... OK, it's a hot day here. I think it's addled my senses a tad, so I'll leave off here with a salute to your auricular acumen and leave it at that...

Huh? (Poetry) - 7/17/2020 2:07:55 PM
Funny! I thought I had a wax buildup in my left ear which also developed a ringing noise. So I thought I had blockage. The doctor check them and said that my hearing went down a notch or two. Nothing too serious but what R U going to do? So, when chores are too tough to do, I now use my selective hearing to my advantage. and I have a doctor to back me up too! LOL!

Cell phone jokes aside, I found that this time, when trying to express your love for someone clearly "takes care of" you, you all of a sudden lost your sense of humor in all seriousness and also your sense of rhyme.

Claudia Chatterbox (Poetry) - 5/13/2020 8:42:56 AM
Not only were you funny with this one, you brought out a truth. I believe that chatterboxes usually have a rather low self-esteem and find themselves talking all the time in order to keep others from interjecting better comments than they make. I also learned in graduate school, that in small groups, the people that talk the most usually are given the leadership role--reminds me of Donald Trump. David Thompson's examples of two of his students is right on. I found that these talker leaders tend to be poor leaders.
Two examples: One time a director who I thought may have been on cocaine, he was so paranoid, called me to berate me for something that I had no control over. I left my phone on speaker so that he could be heard out in the hall and went to the health center to have my urine bag emptied. Fifteen minutes later, when I came back and smiled at the secretary who had to listen to him go on and on, he was still talking, not knowing that I had left the phone for so long. When he blew up on the Executive Director like he had done many others, he was fired and escorted from campus by police.
A couple of nights ago, my partner's best friend from long ago who calls often from Australia after losing her family's savings and is deeply in debt from two very bad business deals, called again and talked rapidfire for over a half hour with my partner every once in a while, interjecting, "a huh," to let her know that she was still listening. If talk could get around of the serious financial problem, she would have easily solved it. ;-)

Claudia Chatterbox (Poetry) - 5/12/2020 12:32:24 PM
LOL!!! This reminds me of one of the Chinese actors/producers, Stephen Chow's movies in which he has an argument competition with a pimp woman who ran a house of prostitutes. The two of them barf out words so fast from their mouths to argue with one another and in the end, Stephen won. That pimp woman was exhausted after hours of argument. Stephen Chow is a Chinese comedy actor. He wrote, produced, and acted in all his own movies. One of his best was "Shaolin Soccer".

Having taught school, I crossed paths with quite a few Claudia Chatterboxes during my career. But there are quite a few Charlie Chatterboxes out there, too. I can recall two in particular—a Claudia and a Charlie. I couldn’t teach because of them. During class discussions, they dominated. Neither of the two were mean in any way. They just liked to talk. Wouldn’t you know that Claudia became a teacher, and Charlie . . . well, he’s a minister. Sorry, Michael. I got sidetracked. Your poem took me down memory lane for a while. You did another great job with this one.

it's best to let sleeping dogs lie
And just lay down and sleep along with them. Enjoyed this forward-moving rhythmic and true-to-life comment on life. Enjoyed as always, perhaps more during these times. Thanks, Michael.

Funny, now the people who had hoarded the hand sanitizer and the toilet paper trying to return the items but were refused. They didn't see that coming, didn't they? Wait 'til they try to pay the visa bills and found out the government is only giving them $1200.00/mth stimulus check, which they expect them to pay rent/mortgage, pay bills, buy gas, and put food on the table! Yup! Those people who hoarded everything didn't see this coming and now they have to pay interest on their visa bills for the toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

Michael: I have always been a "piss, I missed" by nature. I somehow always manage to imagine the worse case scenario and to my chagrin, things have never turned out that way. "No it all" fer shure. I'm a real Nowhere Maaaaaaann, livin' here in La-La Land. Thank you so much for taking a peek at my tripe -- I cain't tell yuh how much I appreciate it ....

Clever, funny, upbeat, just what we need from a pessimist. You are right, Michael, we do need a little bit of mirth and thanks for providing it. Now, how about a mirror poem, "The Optimist".
The Pessimist (Poetry) - 4/7/2020 12:55:51 PM
Yes, this too shall pass.
Meanwhile we wait...
Screw the news, it brings on the blues...
It's a BIG pain in the arse!
It's bike riding time...so it can't be too bad.
When this is over, a cruise ship will be the SAFEST vacation of all.
Be well Michael!

I wonder how Corona beer is doing. Idiots probably think that it's somehow related to the virus. Thanks for coping my title. I enjoy it when you do that.

Thanks, Michael. You are so right. A little humor does go a long way. After watch the news everyday with panic rising into my throat with all the horrible details, I was able to relax and simply laugh at your melodic poke at this terrible virus. May it disappear back into the beer.

Better flying fish, than frying fish. They are excellent swimmers, but I believe they fly to escape predator fish that come up into their schools and eat large quantities of them.

Golden Years My Ass (Poetry) - 2/11/2020 9:47:59 AM
Just so you're not becoming a dirty old man. Is writing the word, "ass," dirty? Only if not wiped.
Back to your poem. From my recollection, comics like George Burns and Bob Hope die laughing at a ripe old age, with young girls hanging around keeping their joints well oiled and their libidos high. You're in the right profession like Samuel Clemens and and you too could hit it big after age 69.
Ron
Golden Years My Ass (Poetry) - 2/10/2020 9:02:56 AM
Michael, what are the chances of you writing a poem about all the things going wrong with me? You should see the list of ailments they have on me at the VA. They even have a few things written down that I’m not having a problem with. I guess they think I’m gonna get it sooner or later anyway.

Great poem! I have heard of frogs and frog legs, but have never heard of frog jam until now. :)
Sandie :)
F-R-O-G Jam (Poetry) - 2/4/2020 10:40:08 AM
Thanks for the nutritional tidbit. It seems like I'm getting them faster and faster, like the Internet, several times a day now. Making it hard to figure out what to eat. Personally I like frog legs (not the whole frog) fried in butter. Unfortunately, I have to dismember the frog in order to do that.
But have you tried toe jam? I understand that it's quite tasty. Just like Popeye when he asked the question: Did you pick your feet in Poughkeepsie? A good prison food supplement.
Ron
F-R-O-G Jam (Poetry) - 2/3/2020 8:58:21 PM
Perhaps the French should take up the lesson from this and not serve up all those frogs' legs. The frog jam sounds so much tastier.
F-R-O-G Jam (Poetry) - 2/3/2020 2:44:18 PM
Great one, as usual. I would even like a little of that F-R-O-G Jam. I’m sure it would work well with a warm biscuit and lots of butter. Here in the hills, it would even go well with a piece if cornbread. Throw a big piece of sausage on that buttered biscuit, along with F-R-O-G Jam or the same with cornbread, and you have a tasty treat.
Tooling Around (Poetry) - 1/30/2020 10:25:20 AM

I'm sorry, but I had to laugh as I read this. For someone trying to depend on poetry like very few have down through history, I can see the irony of having nothing to eat but your own words. And coming up with that "vowel" disease was a stroke of genius.
Keep pulling these gems out of your rabbit's hat of magic.

Not your usual but a joy to read. I'm sure that Trinity loves it and will keep a copy around for a long time.
I know how embarrassing it can be. I love to recount the day my twin brother and I came in from first grade recess to take off our snow pants and place them on hooks in the hall. We forgot that it was the first warm day and we hadn't worn snow pants. It wasn't the air on our bare legs that informed us, but our teacher telling us to, "Pull your pants up!" to all the girls and boys in the hall! Thankfully, our mother always provided us with clean white underwear…

Holiday Stress (It's hard to be good at Christmas) (Poetry) - 12/11/2019 11:47:42 PM
Hey Michael, I recall the excitement of Christmas of looking at all the neatly wrapped presents under the tree. I wondered what was inside each one. It was a fantastic feeling as I opened each surprise that was intended for me. Now my excitement is spent at home decorating the front yard for others to see. My hope is to bring a smile to a family or a young child when they see the lights all glowing at night. Perhaps they are smiling and thinking, "These Christmas lights are glowing bright and colors are flickering in the dark especially for me!"
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
PS: A family across my street thanked me for putting up the light display. They said it cheered them up. That alone, made my day!
Nice poem!
If I Could Sing (Poetry) - 12/9/2019 4:58:47 PM
I'm sure your singing voice is as good as your poet's voice.
If I Could Sing (Poetry) - 12/9/2019 11:20:35 AM
Sounds like you need to get your pipes either cleaned or reamed. But that's no guarantee, because long ago, I discovered the source of a good singer… Buck teeth. If you don't have a natural born overbite, forget singing. The classical example of this is Dion Warwick. I remember when she first came on America's Bandstand. I did a little search and can't find a single picture of how she looked before she got her teeth fixed. She may have paid money to have the Internet scoured and stripped of any pictures of her before.
My greatest singing triumph came last year after doing a little karaoke at an assisted living home, I was asked to do an encore performance of Sweet Caroline.
Ron
If I Could Sing (Poetry) - 12/8/2019 10:10:12 PM
A singer, I am not although I'd like to be.

But give me a hard time and I'll threaten to sing again.

"Twinabagos?" That's a new one! Try saying that 10 times really fast! I sometimes think that men have huge advantages over women when it comes to enjoying all the fruits of the opposite sex. Women are soft and curvy and can really doll themselves up. Men are generally pretty raw and get by with a splash of after shave to hide extreme gross odors. There is just no comparison. We got the better deal! Another great poem that helps us express how we really feel! LOL

Another one of your most creative creations. As I read, I remembered one name that you missed, but I forgot It by the time I finished reading… Dammit! Now I remember… Fried Eggs. But nobody wants those, so that's probably why you didn't include them.

I hope it is not as bad for children in school today as your granddaughter writes. There's always been a slice of this going back to the 1950s when I was in grade school and in one room school houses where settlers, newly arrived, set up housekeeping across our great land. But we were not afraid to go to school, and most kids were not afraid to go home for what was happening there, even though we were living in what was considered a "bad" neighborhood.
I think that the media, emphasizing the worst at unheard-of speed, telling us almost instantly what is happening everywhere, all the time, is particularly affecting young people who have not realized that what is offered through the news (perhaps why conservatives call it, fake) is also only a small slice of life in general, that is very good. Your granddaughter has a dark mind and stream of consciousness. Good for advocacy to do something about gun violence and diagnosing and treating mental illness.
Your granddaughter writes scary, but good, stuff. Her novels will become TV shows.

I agree with Richard. She has a rare talent!
Trinity Rose is brilliant and she was brought up right! She experienced frighting experiences from the heart of a child while rationalizing the senselessness of it all, just like a good parent. Her ability to express it well on paper is enormous!
Trinity could write a short poetry book today with a title like, "If One Child Could Poetically Change the World, I Could!" or "A Worldly Perspective that Needs to Change. Poetically yours, from Trinity, A Fifth Grader." I'm sure she can think of a better title. I for one, would definitely buy her book!
Well done Trinity!

Don't let Viagra steal this verse. It's worth a million bucks. And other rhyming words.

Viagra indeed enhances the bodies natural functioning.

Jack and Clara certainly live life on the edge. This one is a cut above! Your use of words that have two disparate meanings, yet can be read both ways in the poem is simply amazing. All I can say is your muse never seems to let you down when it comes to creating very unique, funny and enduring poems like this. Why I'm so glad you have put out a book of poetry for others to cherish in the future. And, be sure to include this sharp ditty in the next.
