Taking its inspiration from such brilliantly clever poets as Ogden Nash, Dorothy Parker, Wendy Cope and others like them, "Mugging for the Camera" is a fun and funny collection of odd, off-beat and really quirky poetry which can be enjoyed by anyone who has a good sense of humor, a whimsical imagination and a fair appreciation of the witty bon mot. Penned in mostly light verse, this album of original 'snapshots' makes use of (and frequently abuses) classic metrics like the ever-popular iambic pentameter; and in the process, often wreaks general havoc upon traditional poetry forms such as sonnets, haiku, couplets, etc. in order to capture those special moments in time having to do with creative and unusual word play, peculiar events in the weird news and everyday life in the suburbs, among other things.
