    About this ebook

    The title speaks for itself; an Average Joe with some means to express himself. If you enjoy rhymes with a mixture of real-life experiences, this may be the book for you. A.C. Gallant is nothing but honest with his readers as he gets quite personal from fail attempts at love to family problems of some sort. A.C. also mentions that this book of poems is a reminder to those that think misfortune doesn't birth opportunity. "Out of the ashes, rises the Phoenix."

      It’s hard to resist the thrill of being love-bombed. I’ve been warned countless times that it’s a potential red flag when someone is so immediately forthcoming with their affection, but I’m too much of a romantic to be so cynical. Or maybe I’m just t

      Deep as the blue

      But appearing as a puddle is what I
