The Quietly Talented

It turns out the nice lady down the street self-published a book of verse. "For children...of all ages." she told Libs.

It's a lovely book.



Here's an excerpt:

i used to think :
that horses were fathers and cows were the mothers;
and cats and dogs were sisters and brothers;
a deer was a mom; a moose was a dad;
and mice were all good and rats were quite bad;
eagles were angry and dolphins were not
and we hooman beans were the best of the lot.
