incredible, strange and sadly true
there exist such people and not a few
they’ve never met the catcher in the rye
or stared into Poe’s stony eye
never asked who was John Galt
(and what did he halt)
or why must sweet Veronica die
they’ve never escaped from Monte Cristo
never matched grey cells with green-eyed Poirot
never cried over George and Lenny
never said a prayer for Owen Meany
they’ve never fallen in love with a Juliet
never trembled in a Tommyknocker sweat
never searched for the holy grail
never hunted a Moby of a whale
never been friends with a Corleone
never had Rome for an enemy
never stayed locked in Anne’s cage
never broke free of human bondage
never ever heard the mariner speak
never seen a Huck Finn week
but to cut a long story short
please pardon this one…
they’ve never known what’s elementary
like dear ol’ Watson
