    About this ebook

    Travel to Africa's savanna for "Big Game's Big Game" where positions the rhino played were "nose-guard" and "tight-end." Enjoy a humorous nod to those who use antlers in their decorating in "Forgive Her Trespasses" and "Swapping Rooms." In "The Society for the Preservation of the Billabong," discover what Australian animals stash in their pockets. Each poem gives a nod to a Bible phrase or event.
