THE DREAMS OF EMMY DE ZELAWARE is a grandiose dream mosaic set in the future. The first dream—Yaaländogs!—is presented in multiple parts. In Part I: Bar-LeDeuc, a meeting of government officials will introduce the reader to Ozark-Aden, a space colony whose citizens are more concerned with science, industry, sex, and recreation than with alien encounters. Zarcadians love to tell stories. Included in this volume is The Broughstar Ghost, a supernatural tale of murder.

A dancer named Miss Penelope
Can spin round like a wobbly toupie
And twist high in the air
Like a braided éclair
As she performs a loop de loopy

Questioned a clomp-clompin’ kangaroo
“I don’t mean to be snoopy,
But why wear clogs, Marsupi?”

What’s in a name?
Said Mrs. Green to Redding, “M’lad,
D’you know what names y’nearly had?
Your dad favored Soylent
Gave Evert his consent
And Wolfgang, he felt, wasn’t bad.”

Two Coccinellidae. One is Irish, the other American…
A bird and a bug, two ladies
Alit on a green Mercedes
“We call this a bonnet…”
“You mean ‘hood,’ doggone it!”
But since the car was O’Grady’s…

Names aren’t for nothing…
Dr. Pisa secured the implant
In the patient’s right jaw at a slant
When the patient, in shock
Shouted, “Straighten it, doc!”
Dr. Pisa replied, “Oh, I can’t.”

Swim at your own peril…
A small watchful fish, content to be alive
Caught sight of a bird that could hover and dive
The belted kingfisher
In flight a real swisher
Saw the fish, too, and–swish! (It did not survive)

An about face that’s all about faith…
An atheist dealer named Wheeler
Dealt a torn card to a healer
The player used his arts
To cure the Jack of hearts
And now the dealer’s a kneeler
