The Frederick Follies

<p>The poetry/prose collection<strong> </strong><em>The Frederick Follies: Poetic Treasures Derived from a Junkyard</em> is based on the 1972-1977 TV show Sanford and Son set in the Watts section of Los Angeles.</p><p>A huge fan of the old show the author says I don't usually laugh out loud as my sense of humor is different from most. 'Sanford and Son'<em> </em>is one of the few exceptions. I know every episode almost word for word yet Fred's delivery still tickles to this day. He is my favorite comedic bigot.</p><p>She adds Writing this book gives me an opportunity to create scenarios that never happened. As an author I can place characters together that were not in the same scene or introduce characters who were mentioned but never made it on air. Therefore if you don't recall certain things happening while reading this it's because these certain things happened only in the space between my ears.</p><p>The poem<strong> FREDERICK </strong>begins:</p><p><em>My name is Frederick G Sanford; the G stands for God only knows.</em></p><p><em>I change what the G represents on each Sanford and Son episode.</em></p><p><em>I'm rude crude and insulting to everyone especially Lamont my only son.</em></p><p><em>If there's a day I don't call Lamont dummy he'd swear I was acting funny.</em></p><p><em>Then there's Esther the sister-in-law a hands-down winner on being ugly.</em></p><p><strong>About The Author</strong>:</p><p>Juanita Alexandria Davis was raised in the Rehoboth Beach area of Delaware.
