The Plea of a Bookworm By: Margaret Laupp

Gimme a bold hero to believe in

And a twisted villain trying to get even

 

Gimme a new world to explore

Besieged by a plague or maybe a war

 

Gimme a midnight murder most foul…

…a serial killer on the prowl?

 

Gimme a ship in the vacuum of space

Uncovering a strange, new alien race

 

Gimme a romance to last the ages

Or at least a couple hundred pages

 

Gimme the send-off to times of old

Let me witness history unfold

 

Gimme a new life to live for a day

I’ve done it before and I know the way

 

Gimme the change to imagine, to feel

Gimme the fiction and I’ll make it real
