(Dictionary.com)
This book is full of humor, puns, and lots of fun. H. Bundy Shaw loved words. He loved the different uses, the different meanings, and the different pronunciations of words. Bundy also loved to play the play the piano, sing, and make people smile. Most of all he loved his family, friends, and extended family.
This book is a 60 year history of Bundy’s writing beginning with poems he wrote for 21st Division stationed in the South Pacific during World War II, through his career with Playtex, and ending with his retirement in southern Florida.
He wrote lyrics for skits at the Playtex Annual Meeting, which included “Trouble in Midriff City” about the new “Long Line Living Bra”. He wrote lyrics and poems for anniversaries, weddings, birthdays, and Bar & Bat Mitzvah’s. Encompassed in them was a complete biography of the person or people he was honoring. He also wrote a musical, “Our Fair Couple”, which is a spoof of “My Fair Lady”.
Bundy never earned any money from his lyrics and writing so all the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the National MS Society in his memory. It is my hope that these writings will bring enjoyment to you.voir moins
