One reviewer claims that Please Don't Read These Poems is "the book that made censorship in America fashionable again and removed the stigma from book burning." In all seriousness, there is very little serious content in this new collection of limericks intended to not necessarily inform but definitely entertain. Be ready to laugh out loud at bawdy bunches of rhyming verse. Take, for instance, his poem "In Your Pocket: " Now cell phones have reason to rate As a true technological great- Text messaging's fine- Bell tones are divine- But you'll smile if you let them vibrate. Cieslinski goes even further. He bemoans the state of Pinnochio in a relationship, chides a law-breaking marsupial, and somehow makes a violent king into a foul-mouthed, laughing stock. From start to finish, these limiricks keep readers happily nodding along as rhymes lead to loud laughter. Not for the easily offended, Please Don't Read These Poems is a refreshing take on a world that's grown much too serious.
