George Jack presents a literary concoction that is as daring as it is delightful. The book is structured in two distinct parts yet is unmistakably unified by George's inventive wit.

In the first half of the book, George transforms classic poetry into a realm where policies and claims dance with the rhythm of Shakespeare's iambic pentameter repurposed as "Shall I Compare Thee to a Policy?" Kilmer's renowned "Trees" morphs into "Lovely as a Form CP," reimagining the natural world with a corporate sheen. These poems are a delightful twist that offer readers a journey through the familiar turned novel.

The second half of the book is a juxtaposition that illuminates the world with a fresh, humorous glow through the playful absurdity of made-up words in the Thanksgiving spectacle "Nosferatofurkey" and "Gobbleopolis." Later, George offers a touching ode to his late father, revealing the full spectrum of his creative prowess, in the poignant "Sanchin."

Though the two sections differ in their approach, both are infused with George's signature style that is as much about the joy of language as it is an homage to the quirks of life and the insurance industry. The resulting collection stands as a testament to George's unique ability to bring together the seemingly disparate worlds of insurance and poetry into a harmonious and engaging whole.
