In the vein of Ogden Nash, Dorothy Parker, and Edward Lear, Susan Taylor Block takes readers to the lighter side of e-mail, beach houses, gardening, gossip, Manhattan taxis, and thinking young in this witty, entertaining collection. Readers of all ages will get a smile from this gift-sized volume, featuring custom illustrations by artist Deborah Cavenaugh to accompany each poem.
The book takes its title from a quotation attributed to Alice Roosevelt Longworth: "If you can't say something nice about someone, sit right here by me."
