As I turned 52 today”,

In Memory of
A bench replete
With flowers,
In winter’s wood.

Incomplete,
Marked by a stone

To commemorate

When I met a group of young women
Intent on a good time and sinning.

Take care of your pearls!”.
They answered, “sir, we lost them whilst sinning!”.

Bill Gates snapped up at least four rare copies of The Great Gatsby, the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic, and a Gatsby quote even adorns the ceiling of the library in his $127-million house.

A fellow Gatsby lover in Michigan received a scanned version of the manuscript.
Props to Gates. But should such generosity be so random in regard to books—when libraries face new ...
The Knocking
When a young lady named Miss Hocking
Was awoken by the sound of knocking,
She opened her eyes
And said, in surprise,
“Vicar! Why are you wearing my stocking!”.

Said, “a happy new year to you all.
Especially all you young women
Who do nothing but sinning!”.
