Let Me Tell You a Story
it all started with Rupert Bear
until
. . he was found too square
then Just William came on the scene
but soon
a childish has-been
into Enid's Famous Five
happily
before PC could deprive
Julian,Anne
George & Rick
writing fast moving & slick
youth-filled reading
a melanged mix
Biggles & squadron,sixty-six
the hero,Algy & Ginger
against the hun
an air ace made him number one.
growing into mid-teens&
weekly Hollywood magazines
adolescence & steamy Jansen
puberty so sudden.
the adult library
then opened wide
answering questions none could hide
since then
many read
good,poor & rotten
but
books books still to find
to fill
my university of the mind
'til poetry
then found me
to rhyme verse to thee
