Good Old C.S.

Clive Staples Lewis -
no matter what your excuse is,
if you haven’t read his books,
you deserve all kinds of looks
for being too old for sense,
just lost in a forest too dense,
and too young to believe
what everyone else can perceive.

Prompt: "Those of us who are blamed when old for reading childish books were blamed when children for reading books too old for us. No reader worth his salt trots along in obedience to a time-table.” ― C.S. Lewis
