This delightful collection of animal-themed poetry mixes fantasy, nonsense humour, sentimental poems, parody, satire, and polemics, twisting the animal kingdom into flashes of witty wordplay to amuse and bamboozle. Taking the world of animal poetry beyond the realm of children's literature, this collection brings all the fun and ingenuity of playful rhyme to the adult reader.

Here are just a few of the Animal Rhyme stories inside:ANOLE LIZARD becomes a Pig.BORZOI Puppy is a riot.CHINCHILLA has a Pet GORILLA. GNUS steal shoes!MOA didn't make it to Noah's Ark.TORTOISE dreams of being a Ninja athlete.WHALE 'drops out' and regrets it.ZINGEL FISH meets Santa in my dreams.About The Author:Anil is a retired biologist who has since been preoccupied with creating art and literature, mainly humorous, based on word play and constrained writing. The constraint here is the use of only one rhyme sound per poem.

As in the first volume of Strange Bedfellows, etymologically related words, most surprisingly so (strange bedfellows), are used to construct amusing and/or amazing pairs, phrases, whole sentences, essays and nonsense stories.  Most are accompanied by silly comments, tall tales with recurring characters, poems, fake news and ads.  A larger dose of satire than in vol.1 is also included, with a number of Trump send-ups.  Again there is a large appendix citing many other etymological surprises. 

Etymologically-related words, most surprisingly so (strange bedfellows), are used to construct amusing and/or amazing pairs, phrases and whole sentences, mostly accompanied by silly or satirical comments, tall tales with recurring characters, poems, fake news and fake ads for Dr. Duck’s Dealy Deli.  An appendix gives many other pairs of surprisingly related synonyms, antonyms, etc., balanced by the converse - pairs one might expect to be related but are not.Author Bio:Anil is a retired biologist, born in Kentucky, now a dual citizen of Australia living in Perth. He is the author of an award-winning children’s (and all ages!) book, Silly Animal Rhymes and Stories A to Z, and a big book of puns and other humorous word play, How to Double the Meaning of Life.  A sequel to Strange Bedfellows is also near completion.
