When Watermelon had Seeds is a metaphor for Edmond Bruneau's observation of the world. A place which rarely exists any longer -- and cannot help but to be compared with things as they are now. The book begins with a poem potpourri - an assortment of observations and memories. Thought-provoking and insightful - with a few fun wordplays thrown in here and there. Then a look at the holidays and the four seasons, beginning with the New Year - continuing all the way to the Christmas season and an unusual letter to Santa Claus. Next, a nod to nature - ending appropriately with a sunset. Toward the book end, topics become socially-conscious and political. Last, but not certainly least, is a short story called Why Dogs Hate Cats - the missing Mother Goose tale that plainly explains why these two species have a natural animosity.
