After a breakfast of pancake after pancake,

[Preston, Moderator]

The Englishman reads his William Blake.

[Preston, Moderator]

Little lamb,

[Preston, Moderator]

Here I am;

[Preston, Moderator]

Come and lick my white neck.

[Preston, Moderator]

Lick my neck? What the heck?!?!

[Roger]

That's sheer poetry William Blake,
And we all thought you were a flake.

[Roger]

Now it turns out you write with mirth
Almost as worthy as Willy Wordsworth.

[Preston, Moderator]

If that's the way Brit poets speak,

[Preston, Moderator]

I must say the man's a freak.

[Roger]

They say that Wordsworth walked in fear
Along the shores of Lake Windermere.

[Roger]

Which is why he so welcomed spring with a thrill
As he wandered lonely as a cloud with a dafodill.

[Preston, Moderator]

Wordsworth may give you his word's worth with élan,
But it pales beside Lady Windemere's fan.

[Roger]

Indeed it does, as to a glowing furnace
It's important to know the Importance of Being Ernest.

[Preston, Moderator]

In the City Lights bookstore there is Ferlinghetti
But you'll never see him in the Serengeti.

[Roger]

My favorite bookstore on Oxford Street was Claude Gill
And among the myriad shelves you'd never get your fill.

[Boyd, Hunk of hunky burning passion]

My favorite bookstore is in New York called the Strand,
You can roam through the shelves forever it's so grand

[Boyd, Hunk of hunky burning passion]

Old, rare, new, buy sell and dollar books,
You can hide and read in all the little nooks.

[Boyd, Hunk of hunky burning passion]

Certainly the Strand is the best,
There are even spots to talk, read or rest.

[Roger]

I always like to find a cozy little Nook
In which to read my Barnes & Noble book.

[Roger]

But as print books begin to dwindle *
It's as well I have my handy Kindle.

* Roger M. Kean does not support the dwindling of print books.

[Boyd, Hunk of hunky burning passion]

Roger Kean is supposed to get back to writing Harry,
He shouldn't dwell Barnes and Noble cash and carry.

[Roger]

You are so right, I won't tarry
I'll get right on with Harry…

[Preston, Moderator]

Rush that romance with Harry and Jolyon,
So they can make out and carry on.

[Preston, Moderator]

You know readers have a conditioned reflex,
The expect lovers to have lots of hot sex.

[Roger]

On a mountain wrapped up for a cuddle,
Our heroes' limbs are a tangled muddle.

[Roger]

On an Afghan mountainside it's so cold,
They need to grip each other and hold

[Roger]

As tight as they can and share body heat
Like two sardines in a can of meat.

[Preston, Moderator]

If he gets to India heres the deal,
He must give my love to my dear Akhil.

[Preston, Moderator]

I don't mean to sound imperious,
but that's an order and I'm serious!

[Roger]

Harry will sail down the river on a barge
To locate Akhil somewhere amid the Raj.

[Roger]

He'll search each place high and low, and look a lot,
And even turn upside down the palace of Panakot.

[Preston, Moderator]

Just make sure he keeps his hands off of
Akhil, the perfect object of my undying love.

[Roger]

I shall endeavor to comply and make Harry a reflection
to send to you like a mirror of Akhil's perfection.

[Preston, Moderator]

That means or Pashtoon Everwending story guys
will never see your readers' eyes.

[Preston, Moderator]

How could you allow this to be.
When one of them even became a tree?

[Preston, Moderator]

I don't want to make a fuss,
But they were so very nice to us.

[Roger]

I might be wrong, but wasn't Woger Wabit a Pash Toon?
Who kept falling over Kathleen Turner in a full swoon?

[Roger]

No indeed, it was private Dick Eddie Valiant, that was the name,
Who saved Pash Toon Town and put the rabbit in the frame.

[Preston, Moderator]

You're making a mockery of our devotion,
To stand by our friends is a noble notion.

[Preston, Moderator]

Writers may spin a tale of what might be,
But only God can make a Pashtoon tree.

[Roger]

Nothing more refreshing than a cool drink at a bar
Set up under the shade of a spreading Chinar,

[Roger]

Platanus occidentalis is the name known to me
Of the Moghuls' magnificent eastern plane tree.

[Preston, Moderator]

Singing Sgt. Joyce Kilmer's poem isn't easy
because only the Spaniels do it and don't sound cheesy.

[Preston, Moderator]

Joyce is a funny name for a man in my opinion,
Especially one who died fighting in World War One.

[Preston, Moderator]

Actually his poem is well sung,
Also by the great Paul Robeson.

[Preston, Moderator]

Only god can make a Pashtoon tree sing,
When Chinar's Boyd is on the wing.

[Preston, Moderator]

Let us hope the Harry will see,
A tree as lovely as Chinar can be.

[Roger]

Under the spreading branches he craves the shade
As deep under a Chinar as the cool Kalii made.

[Preston, Moderator]

Your words pack quite a sexy wallop,
but I always thought Harry was a top.
