Here is an unsolicited poem written by a very good customer in 2009. Mark Adams wrote another poem for me in 2010 after he found out that that my birthday falls on Halloween. It follows the first one.

MARXBOOKS FANTASTIC INTERGALACTIC TRAVEL AGENCY. By Mark Adams - 2009.

****

Book a trip at the speed of thought. To forgotten realms where wizards fought.

Or take a tour through time and space. To future cities of the human race.

Visit fantastic places both far and near. Where alien spaceships and dragons appear.

Explore galaxies with names of candy bars. Where galactic federations span the stars.

From an Earthly shore to a Martian sea. Marxbooks takes you where you want to be.

Whether hero's quest or alien dream. Down roads traveled to sights unseen.

Come journey with us within the comforts of home. By way of the imagination to worlds unknown.

WHOMSOEVER COME OR COME WHAT MAY

By Mark Adams - 2010.

****

As night swallows the light of day

Faithful jack-o'-lanterns guard the way

To keep restless spirits held at bay

Whomsoever come or come what may.

**

Evil runs rampant across the street

Falling upon those whom it should meet

Across the path of the black cat's feet

As ghosts and goblins cry, "trick or treat"

**

Yet fear no shade under pale moonlight

For they cast naught but an empty fright

Neither lose thine heart nor lose thy might

For your birthday falls upon this night!
