A volume of humorous verse, from epic poems on American and global history to the role of bunnies and kitties in high affairs.Joining acute analysis of world affairs with rhyme (and often song), Sabrina Ramets Cheese Pirates is simultaneously uproarious, surprising, and insightful. From epic poems on American and global history to musings on the role of bunnies and kitties in high affairs, Cheese Pirates both amuses and forces you to ponder deeply the role of government and personality. A fine sequel to Ramets earlier compendium, Pets of Great Dictators, Cheese Pirates teases as it stimulates reflection on the absurdities and the verities of politics, culture and everyday life. Cheese Pirates is a singular read, and it will be a unique addition to any library-readers will turn to it again and again for inspiration. -Jerry Pankhurst, Wittenberg UniversityThis book embarrassed me. It caused me to laugh loudly and uncontrollably while using Norwegian public transportation. -Torbjørn Knutsen, The Norwegian University of Science & TechnologyThis is an absolutely hilarious collection of rhymes, many of them set to well-known melodies. There are joyful verses celebrating life here, as well as bitingly satirical rhymes which provoke laughter at some of the absurdities of political life. I laughed so hard reading these verses that it hurt. -Danica Fink-Hafner, The University of Ljubljana
