The Edible Zoo

This is a book of children's poems originally written for my kids and niecephews. If you haven't pan-fried a whale, or eaten a horse & radish sandwich, well, now's your chance! The Edible Zoo is $8 from the publisher: http://store.albanlake.com/product/edible-zoo/. You can get it from me, signed, for the same price. Here's a sample

Crocodilia

Once I caught a crocodile,

I held its tail for a while,

But I soon began to see,

The croc had lunch designs on me.

I felt that it was time to choose,

Who would dine and who would lose,

So I checked my cookbook pile,

For recipes for crocodile.

Round and round the room we flew,

The croc, and I, and cookbooks too,

The croc suggested person pie,

I replied "I'd rather die."

I countered with crocodile cake,

My appetite for sweets I'd slake,

But the reptile vetoed that,

Told me I was much too fat.

The crocodile proposed a truce,

And as my grip was getting loose,

I acquiesced and said "OK,"

"I'll eat mice, or frogs, today!"
