Wild Mush Rooms
By Alan Beech
()
About this ebook
Short stories hide among saucy and serious poems, song parodies and liberal skeptic opinions on subjects from global warming to fem lib, drugs, condoms, how Castro helps Miami and much more. Like wild mushrooms, most items in this book are yummy but some may be tasteless or toxic.
