Thank You Madam Librarian #NationalBookLoversDay

I wanted to give a shout out to a woman that I don’t even remember the name of, but I remember what she did.

I was about in the 4th grade and my teacher was reading the class the Beverly Cleary book The Mouse and the Motorcycle, and she wouldn’t read it fast enough. I went to our local library told the librarian the story, and she checked it out for me. I suppose she must have noticed how fast I read it for how fast I brought it back, and she let me know that Beverly had written other Ralph stories and she gave them to me to check out. She must have noticed how fast I brought them back because then she introduced me to Tolkien.

I’ve been able to read for entertainment since, and although I don’t give full credit for that to the librarian she sure helped.

I don’t know. As we’re in the internet age of instant access to information and our local libraries are under such assault for their funding and continued existence something just made me want to acknowledge a lady from the past and a profession I hope to see go into the future.

Indomitable August!!! Brown Liquor Grown Folk Brilliant Bridge Poetry Corner

Brilliancy!!!

Oh here come that man.
Adept2u in the house
Don't know ask around.

I'm looking for it. Got what I need?
I want your rhyme, do I gotta plead?

INDOMITABLE AUGUST!!!

Let me try and paint the emotion of what I'm looking for.

When I was 7 years old I fell out a 2nd story window and broke the Earth's arm.

Soon after I precociously pissed in the gas tank of a Datsun pickup truck. That vehicle is now Optimus Prime.

The Scylla and Charybdis are trapped between ME!!!

I was once swimming in the Atlantic and was brushed by a ship‪#‎RIPHMSTitanic‬

When he heard they were talking about me Shaft told them to shut their mouths.

They opened Pandora's Box to find me playing Spades and trump tight.

I can't be faded
