If I loan you my 'Confessions
Of St. Augustine' will you
Loan me your Boswell's 'Johnson'
I haven't actually read Augustine
Yet but something tells me
To read the Boswell first
And then hear what you make
Of how a saint is made
I'm afraid I read for style
More than substance
And since I pay the writer
For my time I want to know
I will at least be moved
By some singular verbiage
