Acknowledgments
Whose book this is I hardly know,
Considering the debt I owe
To Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear.
To X. J. K. - a toast (root beer)!
To Shel and Jack, and Myra Cohn,
Who always give this pup a bone.
To those word wizards I've left out,
The only thing to do is shout:
Who book is this? The bottom line . . .
It's partly theirs. It's partly mine.
