Begins with Rupert Bear,
Until that was found too square;
Then Just William came on the scene,
But soon became a childish has-been.
Youth-filled reading,a melanged mix,
Biggles & squadron,sixty-six;
The hero,Algy & Ginger against the hun,
Adventures that made him number one.
Onto Enid's Famous Five,
Long before PC, could deprive;
Julian,Anne George & Rick
In books,fast moving and slick.
Growing into mid-teens,
And weekly,Hollywood magazines;
Adolescence & steamy Jansen,
As puberty surfaced,so sudden.
The adult library then opened wide,
Answering questions,none could hide;
So many books read,good,poor & rotten,
MInd-blowing but ,so cosmopolitan.

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

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

Beauty of sounds so majestic
comes as mastering the violin
these ladies have done so
sweet sounds they do bring
Nicola Benedetti plays with class
fulfilling her promise of this decade
Julia Fischer's masterful poeme
engrossing self never to fade
Hilary Hahn such outstanding craftsmanship
brings such a skilful tone
Janine Jansen so exciting a player
so astounding when playing alone
Anne-Sophie Mutter classiest of all
for decades the violin's queen
Vanessa-Mae willing to experiment
a real stormer had to be seen
The violin a beauty so rare
makes one to stand and stare
