Puppet Sonnet Numero Seis

And once again thank you for being my only fan! Probably the wrong place for poetry but I am committed to posting all 12 now.

There are many of us quiet and unassuming fans of poetry. Your offerings are welcome additions to our little family.

I have been reciting these aloud with the intent to record and post them for all to hear. Sadly, I am not doing them justice. We need a bass or baritone. Any takers?

As a big fan of poetry, I can recite some from memory but they are typically whimsical poems that do not require serious vocal abilities. Here is one of my favorites, paraphrased from E. B. White, the author of Charlotte's Web:

If the world were only challenging
There would be no problem.
If we only had to deal with temptation,
It would be easy to overcome.
But I awake each morning with the desire
To save the world,
And savor the world.
And that makes it difficult to plan the day.
