Do I collect people as I do of books?
I positively answer your query
You look surprised,
I have my Austen people
As well as my Austen books
Please meet
My Woodhouses, my Elliot's,
My Bertram's, my Frasers,
My Middletons , Brownes and Maddoxes
I had contact with a Bennett
Only last week
I have not met any Wentworth yet
Nor Crawfords, but I don't despair
The Dashwoods are still missing
As well as Nicholls and the Gardiners
But the Davies, Smiths and Martins
Are all over the place.
And yes, I agree with you
It only amuses me
To show such an acquired snobbism
On my part.

You are human
ReplyDeleteSo you acquire
It sure is not snobbish
To desire
But the day
You decide
To Aspire
Your books
Will just retire---
Your original mind,
ReplyDeleteDear Sir,
Always finds hidden depths
To my humble scribbles
That send me running for cover
In shame of my own ignorance
Once the mirror shows me
The naked truth I missed.
I'll freely admit here I'm always looking
Forward to one of your creative insights.
Thank you Vijay Nair.
