Nostalgia in Rhyme

About the Book

"Nostalgia in Rhyme" is a book written in plain, ordinary language that rhymes. Poems about social/cultural/political names, places and events that occurred before--during--and after World War 11 are prominently featured. We include movies (i.e. actors, directors, producers, writers, etc.). Music (songs, singers, bands). We list many old radio and TV Shows and their sponsors. Our book contains 55 poems (12 of which are baseball poems). There are short stories, limericks and several other features displayed in this book. We also name many new products and inventions discovered during that period of time. Hopefully, it will revive some warm memories of happier times for all the readers of our book.
