Oh, my dear reader

Look at that climbing meter

You have read my every book

In the warmth of a heater


I write so bad

But you overlook

I am more than mad

But you are not shook


Whatever yarn I cook

I know there's someone to look

Thank you for sticking along

Even when the words went long

Even when it became a logbook

Even when you were unhooked

Even when I couldn't reach the end

By hook or by crook


Even now I fail

My mind goes one way

And my words another, all astray

But I hope that you will wait

Even though its always late

And delayed, but not hate

For its my fate to create

The story that comes without a date


The words will take us

Like a zig-zagging snake-bus

To the next island where it shall sail

It is larger than any whale,

Much longer than the rail

And very, very pale

To see it, I trace it with a scale

And at the pace of a snail

I bring back to the world

That endless storybook trail
