As I was browsing the poetry section at my local library, I read this title, was intrigued and checked it out. I own a few of Ms. Viorst's children's picture books (Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, No Good Day, The Tenth Good Thing About Barney etc). Although I am not nearing 90, a few poems or lines made me laugh out loud. Some of the topics were not wholesome or edifying. One poem, "Answers", reveals how she does not believe in God and if she did believe in him, she would be thinking he was not a lovely person because of all of the misery and injustice.
She has written poems for each decade, beginning with 30 (title- It's Hard to Be Hip Over 30).
-Borrowed from the library.
