From the publisher

This book is a refresher course in the wit and wisdom, the fun and folly, the grin and the grit of Baxter Black, cowboy poet. It displays the carefully crafted nonsense, the rabidinous rhymes, multiparous metaphors and the strangled similes that pepper his work like . . . like . . . croutons on a cowpie!

Where letters co-mingle, dangle and jingle

Like drops on the tip of a nose

And words conflagrate, ignoring their fate

Throwing sparks that sprinkle the prose

In a tinnious blur like the rowel of a spur

Spinning loops from the web of his mind

It's poem synthesis, though others insist

It comes from a spider's behind!
