Ogden Nash, Dave Barry, Bill Maher, Oprah Winfrey, Rudyard Kipling, and Dr. Seuss are among the myriad writers and celebrities who have inspired retired Colonel Steven Selman to put his pen to paper. In Prehumous Unpoetic Poems , Selman shares his own unique and humorous musings on subjects to which we can all relate. The result is outrageous, irreverent poetry covering a broad range of topics from holidays to politics to religion. From the irony and cynicism of "Wall Street Secret" to the introspective quality of "Wasted Time," Selman offers a personal and realistic view of the world around us. With a creative flair all his own, he pokes fun at everyday life and societal norms that often go unchallenged. Prehumous Unpoetic Poems is a thoughtful, quirky observation on the ups and downs of modern life that will inspire both quiet contemplation and uproarious laughter. "In a season of obfuscation, a distinctive, brilliant and, most important, funny voice of reason and rationality." --Herbert Hadad, award winning New York Times writer
