    About this ebook

    The Lost Notebooks of Glub Dzmc is a collection of poetry at its zaniest. The contents purport to be “ostensibly edited” by Thomas Cleveland Lane. Those of you who have read Mr. Lane’s own collection of poetry, Too Many Rhymes, Not Enough Brains should smell a rat. For those of you who have not, you may want to do so in order to enhance your rat-sniffing abilities. What are we getting at here? Is the strange Czech poet Glub Dzmc merely a figment of his “editor’s” imagination? Perhaps the late philosopher Thomas W. Waller said it best: “One never knows, do one?”

    Author

    Thomas Cleveland Lane

    Thomas Cleveland Lane is a semi-retired writer of sense and nonsense. In the former category, he works part-time writing business letters for an accounting firm. That is what puts the “semi” in his semi-retired status. At the age of 70, he is and ought to be well beyond the 9 to 5 way of life. The other type or writing is what you see in these pages. Mr. Lane has written three plays and two serious novels, some of which are available and some of which are still in the hopper. He has also put together an anthology (that he wrote himself under a variety of pen-names, because that’s the kind of bogus character that he is) called Shaggy Dogs: A Collection of Not-So-Short Stories. No, these are not wonderful tales of man’s best friend, but rather a collection of shaggy-dog stories. If you don’t know what a shaggy-dog story is, ask your grandpa. Better yet, but the book. Anything I have published (except the book you are now reading) is somewhere on Amazon. Mr. Lane’s chief hobby is amateur and non-union theater. He has no grudge against Actor’s Equity, mind you. He just isn’t that good. Still, and he will be the first to tell you, he has his moments. When he has not managed to cajole some poor misbegotten director into casting him in something, he likes to enter piano bars and annoy the patrons with his singing. You may well wish to note that all he can offer you in this instance is the written word, without a peep to be heard. Count your blessings.
