Don’t Step on a Duck may be Wayne’s funniest book. The title poem is about an unusual punishment one might look forward to in Hell. It was written for grownups and is not recommended for children, as it contains humor (not obscene) that they might not understand. An example is the poem that Wayne is most often requested to read at grownup parties, Bumper Sticker, which is included in this book. Take Don't Step on a Duck to your next get-together, and be the laugh of the party! (100 pages, 8.5" x 8.5")

A collection of birthday poems, illustrated in full color. This gift book will slide easily into a 6" x 9" envelope for mailing.
