Wrestling With Rhyme! A Book That Sure Shines!

I was sooo excited with Lanny's outstanding book Limericks from the Heart(and Lungs!),that I just HAD to purchase his other book Leaping Lanny: Wrestling With Rhyme! I wouldn't consider myself a huge wrestling fan, but don't let that dissuade you from buying this awesome book which is absolutely wonderful! Lanny is the new Shel Silverstein!

excellent for wrestling fans

Poffo, aka "The Genius", writes poetry that is all about the World Wrestling Federation. He also includes poetry on other topics in the "out of the ring" section. The poems are very entertaining, and this book would be an excellent addition to any wrestling fan's collection.

GRRRREEEEEEAAAAAT!

What do you mean you have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy Lanny's poems? I hate wrestling. I love Lanny's poems. The one about Special Olympics was a poignant tribute that would have made the late Shell Silverstien proud. Bravo Poffo!

I couldn't put the book down the poetry was awesome.

If you're a fan of the former days of wrestling like I am you'll love this book. It deals with all the former wrestlers that we grew up with. Lanny has a poem about all of his foes and partners. He really nails them on the head. Great job, I hope there is a sequel.

Leaping Lanny is a Jump Above the Average.

I especially loved the poem "Just Say No." This book is a book for all ages with an insight and sensitivity that only a man of intelligence can possess. The subjects are real; the information accurate, and the content above average. I would recommend this book for anyone, not just a wrestling fan, and it makes a great gift for a young reader as well as an older person. If you love poetry - you will love this book.
