Overview"KNICKERBOCKER HARMONIES guides the reader on a journey that involves the last precious years when love of an aged parent is possible. A stop is made to examine the companionship and comfort of a romantic relationship in the life of a single senior citizen. Pride in one's religious heritage is encouraged and reinforced with poems derived from the Old Testament and Jewish holidays. The book culminates with a heartfelt, patriotic rendition of William Blake's ""Jerusalem"" -- this time set in America (""New Jerusalem""). Love of nature and neighborhood are also part of the voyage the reader will experience. Ride along as the salt and pepper haired versifier shares wisdom gleaned by a life not without its challenges!"
