Ralph Oyague (O-yag-gee [phonetic]) was a self-employed former small-business owner who is semi-retired with interests and hobbies in the foreign exchange market, writing poetry, and collecting antiques. He became intrigued with quatrain rhyme and iambic pentameter verse while studying English Poetry Anthologies from as far back into the 1600's. He has incorporated some in this children's book. It is Ralph's desire that this book will be incorporated in the elementary, and pre-kindergarten, to third grade curriculum as well as pre-school day care centers.
