    About this ebook

    This book of often-hilarious, semi-warped poetry will appeal to ne’er do wells, Jezebels, scallywags and those allergic to frou frou. Writer and blogger Moonbeam McQueen rhymes her way through the subjects of romance, aging, music, technology, the Great Outdoors and more.

    Buy one for yourself and one for a friend-- they’ll love you for it, and so will Ms. McQueen.
