Chronic laundry avoidance. The existential hopelessness of shaving. The strange allure of the pickup truck. This book is a collection of amusing light verse and cartoon drawings about things like beer and burning the toast -- staples of modern life, overlooked and under appreciated... until now.

A sample poem to whet your appetite:


Relativistic Remedies for the Home
Cleanliness is in the mind
An arbitrary point on a line
Which is quite easily redefined
In the light of a different aesthetic
Filthy can become pristine
Compared with places more obscene
And so I get my kitchen clean
By process of waxing poetic
