I have a half dozen or so of his little compilations of Grooks - the demos lack the small drawings for each one . . .
(As they are originally in Dansk, the English rhymes aren't too shabby, either)

A PSYCHOLOGICAL TIP
Whenever you're called on to make up your mind,
and you're hampered by not having any,
the best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find,
is simply by spinning a penny.
No - not so that chance shall decide the affair
while you're passively standing there moping;
but the moment the penny is up in the air,
you suddenly know what you're hoping
