A must read. |
Last night on The Daily Show, in Stewart's interview,
Calvin Trillin was the guest - I'd never had a clue.
'though I lack the skill he has, I'm very much relieved;
Now I know I'm not alone, as I had once believed.
I'd feared it was only me with Dr. Seussilitis
(Symptoms bear resemblance to a sort of brain colitis.
Mind will cramp and suddenly you're spewing out a rhyme.)
Recently discovered that it happens all the time.
Other people caught this bug and have it even worse.
Dogfight...2012... is filled with funny, clever verse.
They are like a Hershey's Kiss and Trillin's chocolate mousse.
I just used my Kindle. Pressed a button; bought the book.
Now I have to go and have myself another look.
Good news is that - even though I know I read too fast -
Trillin's written lots of books. May this not be his last.
Delightful poem. And I love Trillin!

Dear Madeleine,
DeleteI'm just delighted to discover that you're still reading the blog. A comment from you is a lovely bonus. :-D
