Great escape on the potty

Reviewed by Irene Watson for Reader Views (1/06) By looking at the title and the cover of the book, you would think that this book is to be read while sitting o. the potty. And, in truth, it is. "Poetry for the Potty" is a collection of short, sometimes humors, sometimes sad, and sometimes leaving you questioning "what did it say?" book of poems. All the poetry rhymes, a knack that David MacLennan certainly has and used to entertain the reader. I couldn't help but smile every time I picked up "Poetry for the Potty" and read a poem or two. I often wondered how much fun MacLennan had while writing the poems, if he had any struggles or if it came naturally to him. I would assume the latter. "A symphony of strings in my head, On this morning most mellow, And to linger longer in bed, With violin and cello. How many times have we thought about saying in bed just a little longer? I'm sure we all have, but reading the above verse by MacLennan puts a different perspective on wanting to stay in bed a little longer - not to deter ourselves from going to work or starting a chore, but to immerse ourselves in a symphony in our own minds created by instruments of choice. Do I recommend this book? Yes, I do. MacLennan put his own creativity into "Poetry for the Potty" giving us an opportunity to escape, whether it's on the potty or not.
