A Quiet Place

 

Your mind must find a quiet place

where you can ponder at your pace,

but media and the milieu

cannot your inner peace displace.

 

So many channels on TV

invite you to watch their fare,

but advertisements you will see

will break calm spells and blare.

 

Computers and the telephone

will keep in touch with kith and kin.

Unfortunately, they oft are prone

to talk ‘til blahs set in.

 

So move into your library

with muff to quell all din.

Then read fine prose or poetry,

and you’ll find peace within.
