The kind of book I’m looking for will sparkle sans tin foil.
It keeps me coming back after I am done with daily toil.
Fantasy or history, it really makes no diff --
As long as heroines refuse to dangle from a cliff.
I am not frightened of big words, but if they’re put to use
I do not want to feel they are for bragging or abuse.
A bio is a good choice if the author ignores Freud.
And sea tales are like nicotine I simply can’t avoid!
Who’s writing now like Wodehouse or Bob Benchley -- anyone?
Or Walter Scott or Robert Lewis Taylor -- he was fun!
My tastes are so eclectic that to find a decent read
I just may have to go back to the Venerable Bede.
