As a radio host and producer I am constantly being pitched guest and story ideas. Every Monday I will share my favorite pitch from the week.

Here's the Radio Guy's pick-o-the-week:

Mike Slosberg is not giving in to old age. He's fighting back — with poetry. The ancient Japanese kind, of course, called Haiku. His book called Pimp My Walker: The Official Book of Old Age Haiku is brimming with 60 poems. So how , you ask, can a poem fight arthritis or bring back memory? Well, actually it can't — but the ones Slosberg pulled together are packed with humor and have turned old age into an art form. Check these out:

1. I can remember / When sex was better than food/ Now vice is versa
2. High school reunion / Everyone looks so ancient / Except for yours truly

Mike Slosberg is no slacker, though graying on top himself. He's written two novels and a book of cartoons which he wrote and illustrated himself. He's currently working on a third novel, a children's book, a play and, believe it or not, a time machine… really!

I love the simplicity of this media release and I am a huge fan of short and sweet!
