Description:The author was a reporter for Chicago newspapers. He would add a commentary in 'jingle' form, and eventually conduced limerick contests for the Hearst newspapers, until the jingle became a natural means of expression for him. With this writing format, and the idea of chasing away as many of the world's blues as he himself could, Mr. Hennessey wrote MAMIE WHOCKETY. His stated intention was to endow MAMIE with, "an electronic personality and high fissionability", to fit in with the tempo of modern living. The author will follow a verse with a short verse entitled Casual Observation. Among the titles of the longer passages are: Biol-ography, Social Accomplishments, Little Yarn, Dog-matic, A Cute Gastritis, Charmed, Bat-ter Up, Mere Minnow, Purely Vegetable, Rounding the Horn, Snug Harbor, and Soldier's Pride. Here is a fabulous "Teen-ager" with a zest for living who will enliven the days of the reader of any age. As one follows her escapades, delightfully presented by Mr. Hennessey in a completely unstilted verse form, one cannon help but be carried along on the powerful current of Mamie's good humor. There is a great deal more to this group of short verses than sprightly humor (of which there is an abundance). In depicting the various thoughts and experiences of a teen-ager, Mr. Hennessey instills a light-heartedness, echoed in his choice of rhythm and brevity of line, that sometimes obscures the deeper thought concealed behind a gay and fanciful phrase. Thus the poems are not only stimulating to an adult, but will be received with delight by the younger audiences.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
