Book Cover & Preview Text
CAYENNE Cayenne, surely pepper quite hot, demands I repractice a lot of perfect forbearance much like what some parents should practice when tying a knot. I LIKE YOUR USES OF CAYENNE I like your uses of cayenne, a pepper you seem to guess could cure Earth's every leper. =========================================== MY RATTLE My rattle and I fill my pen, till I am a child now and then devoted to actions whose basic retractions could seldom resemble pure Zen. I LIKE YOUR SHAKINGS OF MY RATTLE, MOTHER I like your shakings of my rattle, mother, since thus you seem to taunt my elder brother. ============================================ RESPONSES Responses abound in this life, an infinite source of new strife where moments form battlings and everyone's prattlings demolish both husband and wife. I LIKE YOUR SANE RESPONSES I like your sane responses, which occur so seldom they won't ever form a blur.

About the Book
Double Baloney ~~TWO~~ (a sort of sequel of 240 brief and quite standardly rhymed items to the same author's recent **Double Baloney**) has a noticeably divergent formulaic aspect. At the top of every textual page of Double Baloney ~~TWO~~ should be a limerick that perhaps none too galumphingly forms an entire sweeping sentence; at the bottom of each textual page should be an I LIKE sort of couplet the book's author awhile back invented and now very much enjoys composing. Each limerick and every concomitant couplet might seem specially linked in that the title of each limerick is included in the title and the opening line of its accompanying I LIKE couplet. The author's entire aspiration had much to do with grammatical excellence as possibly helping produce strong semblances of wit.
About the Author
Bruce Hamilton, a rather solitary Californian, attended Yale College for two years. He assiduously has devoted most of his literary practicing to such basic pieces as limericks and sonnets. His recent literary hero was and still is Jorge Luis Borges, toward whose pessimisms about language and literature he remains sympathetic.
