Twisted!  Bizzare!  Wickedly Delicious for Mischievous Boys!  And that's just the gourmet mutant assassin slugs.  Ever want to get lil Johnny actually reading poetry?  Elias Zapple's RHYMES FROM THE CABBAGE PATCH is just the ticket... although I would likely not mention the actual title to your mother-in-law while boasting about it over tea.I read each and every poem.  Shock levels do vary, so take heed of the age range, 9-14 yrs of age.  Very mild swearing in one case, nothing close to what nine year olds get to mimic in popular console games such as GTA or ASSASSINS CREED.  Some bear devouring, mice chopping, shady baking, cabbage throwing, pork-induced cardiac arrest violence is also present, but once again, have you ever witnessed what your twelve year old watches on the telly?  All in all, the term "age appropriate" once you hit the preteen market becomes very gray indeed, Welsh weather gray.Plus it's poetry... technically.  It made me laugh.
