Quotations from my books

I hope to start loading a few quotations from both my fiction and non-fiction books onto Goodreads over the next few weeks.
I thought I might share with you the following which is from A Death in Spring: 1968. It reveals Clarkee's poetic side.

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
If you lie to me,
I'll kick the s***out of you.

best wishes,

Jim
