Mambo
Jumbo with Fernando.
Mambo Jumbo with FERNANDO is my attempt to get readers to unwind, even to have a good laugh at themselves at times. It's an attempt to get readers to "inherit" laughter as part and parcel of daily life. As we journey through life, we should all endeavour to make it an enjoyable experience filled with positive energy. The book speckles with a selection of funny stories, humorous poems, raps and even songs. It endeavours to give the reader an insight into something creative and funny. To further tickle the funny bone, I have added some cartoons depicting some hilarious encounters. The humorous jokes, poems and cartoons are written tongue-in-cheek, to enable one to unwind in joy, at times even nonsensically. "All 450 copies of this book, published in 2005, and cost $12 each, have been sold out." |
