Home Place and the Crass Menagerie

Laughing Dragon Publications

NEW RELEASE:

HOME COUNTRY AND THE CRASS MENAGERIE is about Presidential politics in the United States of America. This book is a primer for children and adults alike on the types of people who are involved in our political process; on how that political process works; and on what our Founding Fathers believed when they fought for and created this country from the chaos of the Revolutionary War through the establishment of our Constitutionally-based form of government. This story is told as a satire through historical and contemporary animal personalities.

It's an Election Year! Twin bear cubs are learning about the Presidential political process in school...or are they? Just what are they being taught? With help of the wise owl who lives in the giant oak tree, the bear cubs discover the foundations of our government from the pens of the Founding Fathers. Old owl wisely teaches the types of people encountered in the political arena and all about the influences a person is subjected to as they navigate the murky waters of politics. Of course, a few rascally characters are listening in on the other side of the tree with plans of their own...

If you have ever scratched your head in wonder at the idiocy of politics, then Home Country and the Crass Menagerie will give you just the chuckle, and information, you need to help you cope!

This book contains every word of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and all Amendments thereof. Enjoy a few refreshing moments as you reacquaint yourself with the most powerful founding documents of the most influential Republic on the planet!

ALSO CHECK OUT THE BEST SATIRE EVER WRITTEN ON LOCAL POLITICS:

HOME PLACE AND THE CRASS MENAGERIE is a book about local politics and is based on the experiences of the author when she served as Mayor of a small town.

Though the events in Home Place were inspired by the antics of small town Victor, Colorado, you, too, may already be living in Home Place. With your job, your position, or your politics, Home Place may be the explanation for the perplexing state of events you encounter every day as you struggle to make sense of it all. Meet the members of the Crass Menagerie and watch how they navigate their way completely past intelligence and common sense and into the warm glow of the triumph of lunacy! Or perhaps that is just the way the medication makes them feel...

Swillery is just one of the characters in a new political satire titled Home Country and the Crass Menagerie by Kathy Justice and Robert Groves. If you enjoyed Home Place and the Crass Menagerie, you'll love this new book!

Ode to Swillery

Swillery was on a full fledged mission.
To gain the votes she needed
for Home Country's top position.

Each morning upon waking,
she read the latest poll,
To see what for today
would be her starring role.

The news and talk shows that she heard
would surely help her see,
What the voters really wanted
their new president to be.

They said she had no humor
and rarely ever smiled.
Soon her jokes and cackling laughter
began to go hog wild.

So the folks would hear her message,
      her committee assigned the task
To someone from each audience
      the questions they should asked.
When the shills went very public
      with what they were asked to do,
Swillery cried loudly:
     “that just isn't true.”
Who would I call on anyway
      with so many people there.
Do you think perhaps it was
      her staff pointing to their chair.

She thinks that our prosperity
should all be equally shared.
This Karl Marx philosophy
makes me a little scared.

-Kathy Justice
