Whittled down with a singular artistry, Kick the Latch bangs out of the starting gate and carries the listener on a careening joyride around the inside track.

Something about the odor nudged a memory from his mind, of a time when life held promise, when he’d fully embraced the naïve enthusiasm that came with puppyhood.

In life, she gave Jerry Palmer hell. In death, she gave the devil hell. Now she's back and raising hell....

The moral at the end of each fable, if we didn't realize sooner, alerts us to the animal characters that are stand-ins for human fools.
