CLIMBING UP THE WRONG STAIRS?
–
The young boy liked Dorothy Sayers,
John Creasy and other purveyors…
Of humanity
Murder with glee,
Characters—distictive players.
–
A moment’s notice the boy thought,
He was reading not what he ought…
Serious things
Sometimes needing wings
To soften a sadness onslaught!
–
The TIME SPENT with each volume,
He had to cut down, to make room…
For Math homework
Which he tended to shirk,
While reading till morning in his room!
