Books

I flunked the
Second grade
Because I did not
Care to read See Spot
Run nor Dick and Jane,
I learned to read using
A narrative version of the
Iliad then Ulysses, Greek
And Roman mythology.
I have had a book in my
Hand or close by ever since.
History, literature and the
Classics attract me to
Bookstores around the
World and now north
San Diego county,
Searching for a
Book that calls
To me to be
Read and
Then
Another.
We are about
To go book hunting
Right now and I wonder
If my Uncle Emerson
Would approve as
He loved to hunt,
Only I will not
Take along
A dog
Though Carol
Wants to
Take our
Dog Rosie
(Four hours later)
Which we did
And shared our
Book hunt and lunch
With our Rosie,
The pack
Hunts
The pack
Eats.
