The Funny Side of the Street

About the Book

On THE FUNNY SIDEOF THE STREET you’ll laugh and you’ll cry, for it’s a place where people live, and sometimes they die. Everything is IMPERFECT on the Funny Side. Come take a walk there and find out why SLOPPY JOE’S dog run’d away, be a guest at THE HOUSE I GREW UP IN, find out where SANTA vacations and meet THIEVIN’ STEVEN and ALISA BALEST who thinks she’s the best. Come sit on RICHIE’S STONE WALL and play with UNCLE HARRY’S MUSTACHE.

On THE FUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET you will pledge your allegiance TO THE AMERICAN FLAG with all of your heart and with all of your soul. You’ll meet LOUIE THE BUM and PATRICK O’TOOLE who roars like a lion and brays like a mule. TILLY THE TALKER talks much about nothing, but GRANDMA still plays baseball, and Ruth asks GOD about war, hunger, and poverty.

She says, “I will rest my head now. My soul is Yours to keep, but answer all my questions so that I can get some sleep.”

You’ll want to read His reply. You’ll meet THE TOWN CRIER, MINNIE McGINNY and the dozens of others who live and play on THE FUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET.
