The very best investment I ever made (I speak not of money because I have none) Was when my pencil was first to paper laid And my life as we know it was then begun
I erase more than I write (did you know that?) And get thinner as my cat gets yet more fat But everyone knows about Noodles and me You can Google my cat and see what I mean
Freddie Noodles and I have found poetry In those dark and lonely places in between Where other cats on two and four legs never Would care to look and daresay have never been
But one day I looked there and found forever And started to share with you what I have seen All these crazy pieces of my puzzle fit And it looks like the picture is not quite done
I guess I might as well keep on doing it I might learn a thing or two and have some fun If you would like to read over my shoulder I like some company as I get older
Mary Angela Nangini's poems celebrate the richness of life and love. From the city to cottage-country and the roads in between, Nangini explores the changing seasons of her varied region. (This book will soon be reprinted in hard cover.)
