Wonderful poems, ranging from warm to hilarious

You don't have to live in Minnesota -- or to have known Dave Moore -- to appreciate these clever poems. Great as a gift or to be shared out loud with friends and family

Funny, smart, touching and a great son-to-father tribute

Anyone who ever lived in Mpls. loved Dave Moore, and these poems written by his son (and read on audiocassette by Dave) capture the essence of his wit and spirit. A great gift book and a great thing to have in any Twin Cities library!
