Technically, It's Not My Fault: Concrete Poems

(4) K-3 Book designer Grandits takes his skill with type and layout to write concrete poetry with special appeal for boys. An eleven-year-old boy named Robert features in many of the poems, with topics such as farting, spewing, and missed lay-ups. Some girl-bashing is thrown in, too. The quality varies widely, some clever ("TyrannosaurBus Rex"; "My Sister Is Crazy"), some poems in name only.
