Confessions of a Little Old Lady in Tennis Shoes (Part 2)

Last time I wrote about Al's 1974 book, Confessions of a Little Old Lady in Tennis Shoes, I mentioned that many other elderly females appeared in Al's artwork during the latter portion of his career. And from the title of this volume, one could safely assume that it's pages would be filled with countless drawings of sassy little old ladies and their (mis)adventures. But strangely enough, it's not.

You see, these poems were written by a little old lady, not about one. According to the back cover, Betty Fisher was a grandmother in her sixties when this was published. We don't learn much about her, though. Not even the important question- like if she really wore tennis shoes. An internet search brought up no further information. Perhaps she never had any other books published. Or maybe "Betty Fisher" was just a pen name and she didn't even exist at all. Either way, we're still left with one precious volume of her poems. Basically unreadable poems, but precious nonetheless.
