Huh, looks like the line breaks didn't come through... sorry. Any ideas how to fix that?
Longest Rhyming Poem About Library Materials
Here's the poem:
In honor of National Poetry Month, I will endeavor to create: The longest Maybe strongest! Rhyme In seven hours time From the titles of Books below and above And also CDs As well as DVDs, All to be found In a Circ look-around! What will you find When you look at the shelves? Priceless free treasures! So come help yourselves! Do you crave Exciting fiction? There are many stories To feed your addiction! Novels tell secrets Like Sarah’s Key And Irish stories By sweet Maeve Binchy. And Cujo and Carrie --Those are Stephen King’s— And J.R.R. Tolkein’s Lord of the Rings. Or do you like mysteries Such as Harry Potter? Or “A” Is for Alibi? Or the Headhunter’s Daughter? There’s some who crave Sci Fi And want close at hand Darwin’s Children and Stranger in a Strange Land. And then there’s Biographies, Love, Lucy, John Glenn, Chagall; For Warren Buffet followers, Check out The Snowball. In Nonfiction, there’s choices For everyone who Loves History, Travel, Cooking and How-To. In Reference There’s also The O.E.D. And Atlas of the World— Plenty for you and for me! Don’t forget serials Like People and Us To keep up with celebs And all of their fuss! For extra entertainment, We’ve movies galore, From Adam’s Rib to Zoolander: Drama, comedy and more! Likewise, there’s CDs If you want to rock With M!ssundaztood Or P.D.Q. Bach! To paraphrase Kilmer, rhymes are made By fools like me But visit your library For more poetry! ---Christine Ricker, April 13, 2011
