Snakes in the Sass

It is absolutely impossible to define this humorous collection of poetry, born at the finely sharpened end of Dr. Lynn Veach Sadler's pencil, other than. . . absolutely marvelous. Delving in, stealing from and exploiting unfathomable depths of academia, pun, and personal wit, Dr. Lynn threads word-barbs on the steel of sentence-wires with machine-gun speed at sniper-rifle accuracy. She could have had easily qualified (among her numerous other titles) for the "Muhammad Ali of the ho[a]xing world [of English]" title, had such a title existed. This short review is written by one of Dr. Lynn's aspiring students, poorly trying to imitate her inimitable style.
