Snakes in the Sass

It is absolutely impossible to define this humorous collection of poetry, born at the finely sharpened end of Dr. Lynn Veach Sadler's pencil, other than... absolutely marvelous. Delving in, stealing from and exploiting unfathomable depths of academia, pun, and personal wit, Dr. Lynn threads word-barbs on the steel of sentence-wires with machine-gun speed at sniper-rifle accuracy. She could have had easily qualified (among her numerous other titles) for the "Muhammad Ali of the ho[a]xing world [of English]" title, had such a title existed. This short review is written by one of Dr. Lynn's aspiring students, poorly trying to imitate her inimitable style.
