Let's Go - "Somewhere Else"

About the Book

The journey to "Somewhere Else" is easy to read straightforward light verse with illustrations reminiscent of the works of Shel Silverstein and Bruce Lansky.

Along the way you'll encounter Pirates, Mr. Perfect, and the unfortunate Mr. Schnee. You'll be warmed by Foolish Frank's Fire, get to see the great Computer Race, and solve the puzzle of the missing part in Incomplete. After meeting Billy on page #1 you will finish at the Ant Races on page #105 and each verse along the way will bring a smile.

Everyday situations are made absurd and the impossible is made to seem probable with style and wit to be enjoyed by all ages. Parents will enjoy reading these verses to their children as much as the children will enjoy hearing them.

Readers will see places, people, and things that may be familiar, but curiously different with a new point of view. They may even recognize themselves.

Over one hundred poems and illustrations to lift the spirit and have you smiling.

About the Author

Born in Chicago, Illinois, at a time when men wore spats (if you have to look that up, you're younger than the author), Mr. Myers graduated from the University of Illinois when you could buy a large pepperoni pizza for three dollars.

A former newspaper editor and retired elementary school teacher, he lives in Valencia, California, where he combined his love of humor and flair for light verse to produce "Somewhere Else."

He has a wife, two sons and two grandchildren and each of them has been the inspiration for a verse or two.

Besides his love for reading and writing, he enjoys golfing and trout fishing.
