Roz Chast

To understand the humor
In the cartoons of Roz Chast,
Check out a new exhibit*
Of her work – it’s unsurpassed.

My favorite is an ABC book
Titled “Things I Hate”
Which features many items
To which I can sure relate.

Examples such as “Undertow”
And “Waterbugs” and “Heights”
Are illustrated in a way
That’s filled with pure delights.

I couldn’t help but smile as I
Perused each cartoon page
And noted that all comers
Did most equally engage.

How special to have talent
So specific and unique!
Go check her out and you’ll agree
I know of what I speak.
