Autographed

My son got a gift from his buddy,
A book which is sure to get raves.
He was thrilled ‘cause he knew
That the lead of U2
Was the author and one of his faves.

But the best part was quite unexpected – 
An autograph written inside,
With no question in mind
Of the fact it was signed
By the writer – it was Bono-fide!

*thanks to my husband for the punchline

Nice indeed! But now he can't sing, "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" :-)
