J.D. Salinger, R.I.P.



A recluse who wouldn't reply
has left without saying goodbye
His epitaph blurb
reads Do not disturb
discouraging those who would pry
at

    His hero, young Holden, no phoney,
    like J. D., could not stand baloney
    His yearning for truth
    struck chords with the youth,
    each Johnny and Jimmy and Joanie

    A hermit who lived all alone
    he never would answer the phone
    And queries by mail
    were to no avail
    returning 'addressee unknown'
