LOST IN THE PAGES — “Drips of Ink — Favorite Authors/Mark Twain”
LOST IN THE PAGES
Connecticut Yankees
and knights brave and bold,
I’m in King Arthur’s Court
and in wonder of it all.
The armor, the horses,
the thrill of the fight,
castles and maidens,
a childhood delight
as I’m lost in the pages
of my imagination once more
adventuring down the Mighty Miss
with Huck and Tom and all of our friends.
Jumping frogs keep us company
as we boldly find our way,
as all we can do is laugh together
all the day as we try to keep our eyes
on the paths and the rivers in front of us,
more adventures and destinations
to find within our sights
as we travel to places
far and wide as retold
through Mark Twain’s
grand adventures
as passed down to me.
Mark Twain is alive and well in my town too,
right in front of our library . . . .
