DEBORAH KALB Q&A BOOK REVIEW

http://deborahkalbbooks.blogspot.com/2016/03/q-with-mary-nida-smith_87.html


I am thankful for this review for, "Heroes Beneath the Waves," with Deborah Kalb who now has her first children's book released. "Heroes Beneath the  Waves: Submarine Stories of the Twentieth Century", is written for the men who served, for families of submarine veterans to understand what it was like for  their love ones, and for students to understand war is not a game. My husband has two stories in the book. He never got to see the book as he passed away two day before the book was released.

Poem DOG SMARTS

Dog Smarts!

By Mary Nida Smith ©

Doggone dog

acts like a hog.

He eats everything

without thinking.

He torn up the house,

never touched the mouse.

I sat him down for a talk

he took me for a walk.

No one out smarts this dog.

The old boy lives in a fog

living his life his way.

I am still in a daze.

No telling what he’ll do

when I introduce the cat

… to you know who.

Country Roads

Country Detour

© Mary Nida Smith

The poor sap wasn’t mature

for being a chauffeur.

He was a city guy.

Country roads were a bore.

This wasn’t a tour.

He didn’t expect a detour

 in a roundabout way

up and down country roads.

He and his passenger were unsure

they would get beyond the detour

Zigzagging over county roads

that never appeared to end.
