A Goodreads user asked Bonnie Garmus:

Thought you might enjoy this poem I found in your book? Ode to Mr. Sloane his low-grade stupidity his dull opinionated know-nothing charmless completion his ignorance bigotry vulgarity insensitivity his wholly undeserved faith in himself like most stupid people Mr. Sloane wasn't smart enough to know just how stupid he was by L Daniels

Bonnie Garmus Hi Laura! I appreciate your kind words, but unfortunately you can't claim you wrote this poem. It's a direct lift from the book. I know you mean well, and I hope you understand.
