Book Excerpt for the Day

    He’s a grand old guy with a spark in his eye

    And as bright as the Fourth of July!

    And they say that he’s

    Got both his knees

    And still takes his brandy with rye.

    Now he’s ninety-nine

    And he’s feeling fine,

    And he still takes the curves in high!

    We’ll all be here

    Again next year

    To cheer Homer the grand old guy!

    (from The Cat Who Brought Down The House by Lilian Jackson Braun)
