Vice Verses

Vice Verses is a collection of verse describing the life and times of a "German Protestant Boy from the Midwest". Autobiographical, often amusing, occasionally melancholy, sometimes philosophical, the author hopes that this collection will be as fun to read as it was to write.

OHIO BIO

Edwin Rolf, the writer
And poet of renown
Emerged o'er many decades
From a tiny little town

'Midst the cornfields of Ohio
Where he played a mean trombone
In high school and in college
In bands and all alone

He became a Navy pilot
And flew for five whole years
Then settled in a valley
With siliconic seers

He's marketed computer stuff
For years that he can't count
He's dabbled in the arts
To seek a different mount

Then several years ago
Into his addled mind
The verses started flowing
Of every shape and kind

He scribbles them on paper
In the middle of the night
Then puts them on his laptop
To make them come out right

So when they did accumulate
In numbers quid pro tem
XLIBRIS ads convinced him
That he should publish them
