Favorite Books
from Throughout My Life
They’re not in any order, no,
These favorite books of mine.
The order that I’ve thought of them—
And that will do, just fine.
A hundred one—sounds nifty, eh?
For such a weighty list?
And in each bit of doggerel,
I’ll try to give the gist
Of each—of what it meant to me—
In childhood—later on.
And we will travel many shelves
Before this all is gone.
So … grab a chair … and settle in:
The journey soon will start,
A trip, you’ll see, that travels through
A busy reader’s heart.
