Think Books

Once There Was A War between Three Men in a Boat
eager To Kill a Mockingbird 

they ran Lost
passed A Doll's House
A Room with a View
saw Dirty Pretty Things
saw Polite Lies
saw A Princess Saves Herself in One
with a lack of Sense and Sensibility
they wondered who won

who wins when Things Fall Apart
Emma?
the Woman at Point Zero?
surely not the three who had a depart
but forget women
the men were alone
droaned
in desperate need for carte
moaned
And the Mountains Echoed 

the trio sent Letters Home
each entitled Where My Heart Used to Beat
one sent to Animal Farm
the other to The Mother
and the last to The Pearl

the men wrote Hard Times proposed roads to felicity
times of fighting for The Birds of America
put them down at Wuthering Heights
and what's more
you'll like
