You had to read them
I found it sufficient
to just hold them,
to feel them,
to grope them...
And then,
in high school,
we had to read
War And Peace
I impressed my teacher
by finishing it within
one half-hour.
All I did was read
the number on each page.
But I read the first word
of every page
of Jane Eyre
It was a Surrealist masterpiece
However,
Dostoevski's
Minnie Marx |
was the first story
I read en toto
Fyodor was
funnier than
anyone will
ever know
And my idols became
Miene Schonberg
and the man she married in 1884:
Samuel "Frenchie" Marx
For each and every one
of their children,
the bedtime story
read to them was
THE DOUBLE
The one who became Groucho
memorized the entire story.
This is
the only
known picture
of the entire Marx family
