A Commentary on a Brilliant Author…

There once was a writer named Ed,

His books and poetry known as perfect reading before bed,

His sense of humor world renowned, 

He does love animals of all sorts, feeding them, keeping them from being dead…

Surrounded he is with animals and his wife,

A saintly woman living with him throughout life,

She has had to put up with his quirks,

But better than to live with other jerks…

His love of life can be seen within his writes,

Not only are animals his passion, plants & trees he keeps from blight,

Allowing them to grow to cover his abode, forget doors, to enter, windows are the right height…

Could Ed be the reincarnation of St Francis?

Living a life of true , but sometimes unrequited, bliss,

He does not look for thanks, only memories for future reminisce…
