The Golden Gate

Dear friends, do not be intimidated
By this novel written in verse
Perhaps you have anticipated
That it will be obscure, or worse
Solemn, pretentious and “poetic”
Relax. You’ll need no anesthetic
Our author tells his tale with style
And effortless charm. Before long I’ll
Bet you’ll find yourself engrossed in
Each stanza of this narrative
Of love and lust, of take and give
Of modern times. So let’s raise a toast in
Honor of the nerve it took
To invent this outrageous book!
