Before the printing press was invented, books were handwritten and very scarce. Of course not many people could read, but those that could, sometimes gave what I call recitations. When people gathered in groups, as a form of entertainment someone would read from books of many famous authors. These readings were usually in poetic form., and often excerpts from plays by Shakespeare and many other prominent writers of the day. This book is composed of a variety of verse form, both spiritual, and hopefully inspirational, funny and sometimes, just plain silly. I have enjoyed going to assisted living homes and giving these "recitations". I find the residents very receptive. It gives them things to think about and we have a lot of fun with the participation works. After each "recitation" we talk about our thoughts, and they come up with some very interesting takes and ideas that they share with each other. This book is G rated, you will not find anything repugnant or any innuendos from the dark side.
