From the Author:

I will not introduce myself.
I will not ask "How do?"
I will not wave, I will not bow,
Or shake a hand with you.

For I am not polite, my friend;
I have no social grace.
Like you, I have no manners,
And I never learned my place.

Instead I'll write a poem
And I'll put myself in verse,
And if you like the sound of me,
Well, THEN we might converse.

So read a line or two of me,
Or don't, if it's a chore,
But since you've read fifteen of me
I bet you'll read one more.

Hide and Seek

All the hiding places stink.
We’ve used them all before:
Behind the blinds, beneath the bed,
Around the closet door.

Now I’ve found a better place,
A sweeter, neater plan.
Come see if you can find me now;
Come catch me if you can.

Once I hid in the blink of an eye
And once in a blue moon.
Once I hid way back in a flash
And then one day in June.

I couldn’t hide in outer space
So I hid just in time.
Because I couldn’t find a place,
I’ve hidden here in rhyme.

Yes, I know places I can hide
That no one ever finds.
When I need to slip away,
I hide between the lines.
