Book Description
We spend a great deal of time in life wondering what is going on in various situations. Sometimes we are misled by people who have an agenda, other times by people who have the wrong impression, and other times by situations involving subtle realities that intertwine in confusing ways. Having gotten two degrees in engineering and applied them in industry as an analyst, the author long ago came to regard the provable truth to be something breathtakingly beautiful. In this regard, the author has also been left with the impression that there are many good, intelligent people wandering around with marching orders, saying, "Believe this or that!" but the results of this belief seem incongruous with reality. And so it seemed that there was a need for a well-versed reference source to better explain reality. The author didn't realize what service was being provided by his poetry until long after the first poem had been written. The fact that the title referred to a verse and that poetry contains verses serves as a pun in the title. Not all poems in this work refer to the same subjects. Many things we encounter in life can be confusing, including love, patriotism, politics, the feminine mystique, modern business, spin doctors (whom the author is none too fond of), advertisers, and pets, to name a few. It will not be claimed that the interpretations of what is happening are infallible. But the author did get more than a few happy a has at the end of various poems and hopes that the reader will respond with similar pleasure.
