Author, Jeanne Smither Osio and her daughter, Lisa Osio Lavin (illustrator) share their book, Flying Pieces of Macaroni & Cheese! 100 Laughable Poems (Ages 7 and up). Courtesy of KGO/ABC (San Francisco, Bay Area Channel 7). July 20, 2010. Their book is available at www.kykat.com or at www.Amazon.com. Excerpt (1 of 100 poems) : THE TWISTER OF FEAR The scariest ride at the fair this year, Was the fastest ride, The Twister of Fear. Reaching speeds that were death defying, Absolutely, positively terrifying. I yelled, I trembled, I shuddered, I cried, I screamed, I shook, I was petrified! My face was drenched from sweat and tears, My pulse was pounding inside my ears. I covered my eyes, I cringed, I shivered, I held my breath, I gasped, I quivered. I almost threw up and that’s the truth, But, bravely, I stepped up to the ticket booth. (Copyright 2010 – KyKat Publishing)
