It's Banned Books Week

Happy Banned Books Week:  It is rather ironic that Banned Books Week, starting Saturday September 27th is within one week of my 41st birthday. Such books as  "1984", "Catcher in the Rye" and even the "Harry Potter" series have been banned at libraries and other places by small-minded individuals, many of who have never even read the books they have sought to ban, burn or censor. In honor of banned books here is a rather risque' poem:

   Poetry:  "When the Clock Strikes 13"
             When the clock strikes thirteen girls go wild
              Is she a woman or is she a child?
              She's in between
              She just became another teen
              And her boyfriend's lean and mean... (tbc?)
