Making King Converts

 

I love it when people say they don't like Stephen King;

That a "scary monster" story ain't their kinda thing.

I just smile and - maybe - ask which novels that they've read

And I recommend his mainstream books to them instead.

In the past, Shawshank Redemption always changed their mind.

Now (although I much prefer the scary monster kind)

Stephen's latest trilogy is what I recommend...

Where you don't discover there are monsters 'til the end.

My mom is a recent convert... Working on my spouse

But he's kind of busy doing work around the house.

After he's retired though, and has some time to spare

I suspect my love of Stephen King is one we'll share.

Mr. Mercedes

Just bought Stephen King's new book; I'm more than half-way done.

I'd be finished were it not for errands to be run.

I'm a Constant Reader and I gobble Stephen King...

Then I wait a month and start re-reading everything.

I have tried to pace myself before...  It doesn't work.

(Plus, with sisters waiting, I don't want to be a jerk.)

So far I am loving it, although I knew I would.

Anything he's ever written has been really good.
