"Stompin' at the Senior Center is a book by an old person for old people who fancy their poetry the old-fashioned way: Written with rhythm and rhyme in understandable language. Mostly light verse (poetry that amuses), the book also provides a smattering of reflective poems that'll pluck a heartstring or two.

"Stompin' at the Senior Center is even for people who don't particularly cotton to poetry, being, as it is, a classy, illustrated, fancy-font, hardcover, jacketed edition which will not only look good on the coffee table but be an instant conversation-starter when friends drop in. And you can't go wrong on the price: It cost 50% more to produce than it sells for. Which means the old person who wrote it is really old!
