Cover of Five Minutes from a Meltdown: A Comedic Poetry Collection - A truck has crashed into a sign

UPDATE: Sadly, the publisher of Five Minutes from a Meltdown has gone under (not to Australia, but out of business). That means this is now a limited edition commodity. 


If you still really want to read it because you have great taste, please reach out to David and see if he can get you a copy!

First-place winner in the Humor category at the 2025 Purple Dragonfly Book Awards!


A hilarious comedic poetry and cartoon collection from screenwriter David Meyer and cartoonist Mark Hill.


If laughter is the best medicine, call this book penicillin. 


Get ready to laugh out loud with this collection of awkward encounters, groan-worthy puns, clever turns of phrase, and hilarious cartoons. Through David Meyer’s perspective, the world becomes a place of laughter and idiosyncrasies. This collection of quick-witted, quick reads can be devoured in a single sitting or at a poem-a-day quota (to keep the doctor away). 


The book is a perfect gift for a friend who likes to laugh, an enemy who hates to laugh, or a family member who needs a laugh (and to pay you back that money they borrowed).  Put it on your coffee table to be lovingly stained with hors d’oeuvres and good memories, on your bedside table to ward off nightmares, or perhaps in your bathroom, as everyone loves reading a book that other people on the toilet have been touching for years.  


However you read, this comedic collection is sure to please.
