Publisher's Synopsis
In The Love Song of J. Elliot Fruhlock, acclaimed humorist Oswinn Kerr delivers a riotous romp through the madness of matrimony, societal expectation, and cold feet gone catastrophically wrong. Meet J. Elliot Fruhlock, a well-meaning but jittery groom who finds himself bound, bouqueted, and bolting down the aisle-with a vengeful bride and her weapon-wielding bridesmaids hot on his heels. What follows is a tragicomic ballad full of farce, flight, and florid vows twisted into satirical verse.
A playful pastiche of T.S. Eliot's poetic gravitas colliding with slapstick absurdity, this gleeful poem skewers the pomp of wedding pageantry and the pressure to say "I do" when every instinct screams "I don't." With biting wit and theatrical flair, Kerr crafts a modern comedic epic for anyone who's ever questioned love, tradition, or the wisdom of running in dress shoes.
