I Bet I Can Make You Laugh

With the help of some of his creative friends, Joshua Seigal has compiled a diverse
collection of funny, imaginative and downright ridiculous poems! The book is sure to
have you in fits of giggles as you read poetry on subjects covering areas such as the
flu, dog eating a piece of homework and love. This book will inspire even the most
reluctant reader to give poetry a go.

I Don’t Like Poetry

everything you can think of in a silly and hilarious way. Joshua’s writing in this book
