Poetry for the Potty

Full Satchel Press is proud to announce the forthcoming publication of Poetry for the Potty. Written by David MacLennan (The Bathroom Bard).

(PRWEB) March 18, 2005 -- Who Said Poetry Can't Be Fun?

Just in time for 'Poetry Month' in April, Full Satchel Press is proud to announce the upcoming release of David MacLennan's second book titled 'Poetry for the Potty'.

In this era of lofty prose poetry written by poets for other poets, MacLennan has long argued that the art form has been hijacked by an elitist few. Poetry was once written to be enjoyed by the average man and woman. Poetry, MacLennan believes should be fun, readable, understandable and not something that kids in high school roll their eyes at.

MacLennan with a somewhat salty background says, "He has had an affinity for writing in rhyme for about ten years now," but adds, "he has had an affinity for the 'potty' much longer," and says, "both are places where he likes spending time; "and really is there a better place to read and even write poetry?"

With over 200 poems the book offers a refreshing look at an old art form. Or as the back cover reads:

These poems are for the bathroom shelf,
And quiet moments all alone,
When sitting down all by yourself,
And time at lasts your very own.

Now in these moments to be read,
While sitting on your comfy can,
Its always best to think ahead,
And better still to have a plan.

So by the potty on the shelf,
This books a must for all your homes,
For just in case to wipe yourself,
Youll always have this book of poems.
