Literary Giant

His Victorian times were in need of reform. He wrote of orphans out in a storm With no fleece coats to keep them warm, And a miserable miser counting his gold. Charles Dickens' topics were true and bold. Written for Brian's contest 6th place

Love Dickens and love your tribute to him. And joyce, don't worry. I have LOTS of poems about Callie and my two new cats that cannot even come close to replacing her!! I just don't want to overwhelm the board here with my many cat poems and other poems. LUv, andrea
