Love Irreverent (Rev.) Poem by Margaret Alice

I love the irreverent character
created, an attorney-author – a
clever young girl, the author’s
voice expressing criticism of
foolish youngsters, of society’s
foibles; uses client’s experience
to devise life strategies to meet
challenges, advises on what men
want in women’s conversation – just
add stars from the author’s eyes
his fascination with My Fair Lady
you have a winning combination

Marvellous comments on bad music,
melodrama, his philosophy to explain
the public deserves entertainment it
gets; fascinating, based on observation
every society deserves their political
leaders; what seems light entertainment
is a marvellously dense philosophy
presented in archaic Afrikaans, I smile
at every quaint expression – a book
I have treasured since youth…
