SMUG SENRYU, a collection of 240 syllabic haikulike 'itemettes,' is intended to be very jokey, very fun. The essential smugness may be seen in how the author of the aggregation strove to cling absolutely to rigorous aspects of **5-7-5** in terms of counting the included syllables; also, each of the individual brief items might seem to insist on being only one basic English sentence. That no wish or attempt ever existed to honor some of Basho's supposed haiku approaches may at leas...

Mu...

Double Baloney ~~TWO~~ (a sort of sequel of 240 brief and quite standardly rhymed items to the same author's recent **Double Baloney**) has a noticeably divergent formulaic aspect. At the top of every textual page of Double Baloney ~~TWO~~ should be a limerick that perhaps none too galumphingly forms an entire sweeping sentence; at the bottom of each textual page should be an I LIKE sort of couplet the book's author awhile back invented and now very much enjoys composing. Each limerick and...
