I've Got A Book Review For You Poem by Susan Williams

.
For those who love to curl up
after a long day of work
in an overstuffed arm chair
before a crackling popping fire
and relax with a piece of light reading
..........here it is!
Fast-paced and charming
and whimsical too!
I smiled, I grinned, I chuckled to myself,
I laughed out loud. I'm not talking just a ladylike titter-
I'm talking a robust belly laugh.
..........that will shake the timbers of your roof!
Most of the laughs are immediate,
some are delayed like the ones
that several lines later you lift your eyes from the page
and say to yourself 'What did she say? '
and back up and read it again
..........and then laugh yourself off your chair.
This writer knows how to end a book-
relax, I'm not going to do a spoiler.
I will say this much though-
for days and days after reading this book,
you will suddenly smile to yourself and,
..........remembering the end, laugh out loud.
This can be embarrassing
if you do this remembering
while walking down the street alone
or checking the oranges in the grocery store
or during a staff meeting led by a Scrooge wannabe
..........who doesn't have a sense of humor.
By the way, listen up, Hollywood,
this book would make a great movie
along the lines of Sleepless in Seattle
or The Philadelphia Story,
or The Shop Around the Corner
..........this is a put-a-smile-on-your-face romantic comedy..
Warning: For some reason, the book has like 3 f-bombs in it.
Embarrassed, they perch there on the page
looking as alien as streetwalkers in a Nunnery,
so out-of-place that you have to think
that the editors plopped them in there
..........to give the book a For Mature Audiences Only rating.
