The Guardian of Bardion, a Motley Medley

 

"And me that evening Derry showed the house --
although there were no relics of past times,
no worthy works of art, but everywhere
a thousand shelves of smiling Precious Moments,
each baring an insipid grin at me
as though to drive me mad; and, over all,
a general air of cleanliness neurotic
so that I wondered how my poor friend Derry
could stand to live with psychos like his parents."

from "The Guardian of Bardion, a Motley Medley"
