This Poem is for Laurie Hertzel. (July 9)

 


A list of books

A list of books

Who wants power

or good looks

Just give me pages 

as my wages

My catalog includes

these lovely dames and dudes:

P.G. Wodehouse, what a guy!

His humor is still spry.

Patrick O'Brien --

there's no use in tryin'

to overpraise his stuff

Not when the seas are rough.

That Amy Tan,

she is my man

Domestic tales

so comprehensive

I buy her books

(though too expensive)

I could go on

and make you yawn.

Sufficient to say

books make my day.
