Book Excerpt

Saltwater Blues

Lillypad princess, don't wander far

If you do you'll be so sad

The world is no bigger than a splish splash

Tie your wagon to a star?

The salamander promises to help?

Thousands have ended in misery

Squash your chances to be a shining star?

By trading your scepter for a mop.
