This book is 95 percent comedy. The remaining poems are serious in nature. The serious ones are about people who have touched my life. I have not been able to read them in front of people without tearing up. The funny poems are a different story. Some of them have hidden comedy. Some of the jokes you heard in high school may appear in this book. I was and I am always looking for new material. Some of the odes are based upon a true set of facts that happened to people I know. Some of them could be offensive to certain people. For that I apologize. I enjoyed rewriting and editing these poems. That usually happens two months or so later. By that time I had forgotten what I had written. Finally, I’d like to apologize to real poets for referring to my creations as “poems.” Enjoy

A work of major importance that demonstrates the value of folklore for understanding national character. Life Is Like a Chicken Coop Ladder was first published in 1984 and from the outset inspired a wide variety of reactions ranging from high praise to utter disgust. Alan Dundes' theses identifies a strong anal erotic element in German national character, citing numerous examples of scatological data from authentic compilations of German folklore. The examination of this single trait of German character is used to demonstrate that national character exists and that its existence is unambiguously documented by the folklore of a nation. Dundes is of the opinion that the use of folkloristic data minimizes subjective bias in the study of national character, since unedited or uncensored, it constitutes a unique way of looking at a culture from the inside-out rather than from the outside-in, the more typical situation of an outside observer trying to understand a foreign culture.

This book is a message to the reader, telling him/her who I am, and how I perceive life and this world that we, human beings, share. This book depicts everything that my soul feels throughout my entire existence; which is why I call myself a chanter of life and everything evolved fom it. I sing death, love, and all things that arouse my senses and my mind! O, I must be thankful to the great Almighty for the energy he blew on me, when I thought I was already finished; certainly, for the breath, like ether, that spreads out of me without it ever evaporates. Yes, I must say thanks to the holy Lord, for he has tied me to you all, O human brothers, by my pen and the mutual warmth that bonds us.

In May 1942 colonial Burma was in a state of military, economic and constitutional collapse. Japanese forces controlled almost the whole country and thousands of evacuees were trapped in a huge area of no-man's-land in the north. They made their way to India through the so-called 'jungles of death', attempting to trek out of Burma amidst perilous conditions. Drawing on diverse and previously unpublished accounts, Michael D. Leigh analyses the experiences of evacuees in both Burma and India and critically examines the impact of evacuation on colonial and Burmese politics in the lead-up to independence in 1948. This study will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Burmese history, 20th-century imperialism and the global reach of the Second World War.
