Lit'Rature
I just love to read the classics.
Those ancient books — jurassics
with perfumed words
which sing like birds
of import’ance and drastics
The British, of course, get most raves
of all the fine writers in graves
with class distinctions
which need extinctions
and hoards of most colorful knaves
Then there’s the new kids on the block
Americans, learning to walk
prone to mimic
those inimic
finding their own way to talk
What about all of the rest?
Those most ignored in the west.
Give me a few years
some naps and some beers
and I’ll report on the best.
