Book About Guernsey Isle
Book About Guernsey Isle
She was an excellent editor and explorer
Which is why we always will adore her
Going through books and then editing
After that to all authors properly crediting.
She had gone to Guernsey Isle one day
To see all of the many books on display
Several were about historical events
And German Occupation making no sense.
It was a lost cause from the beginning
Being so boisterous and always sinning
Each party continues on and never stops
Drinking much beer made out of hops.
Only thing considered to be contagious
Was Guernsey people being courageous
Putting up with each and every party
And Germans being healthy and hardy.
All the days are now over and done
Glad by Germans war was not won
Last thing they did was to rehearse
What must be done when you disperse.

"The Guernsey Literary and
Potato Peel Pie Society" by
Mary Ann Shaffer and
