Ode to Edith (Granger)

Edith Granger, man. Yeah.

She worked in a shop...
She couldn't find stock...
Her customers, they were annoyed.

She needed a fix...
Some kind of index...
Sell more books, remain employed.

She thought, "Poetry's hot!
We'll give it shot."
The rest is reference history.

By subject you search...
First line you can look...
Last line and words that are key.

Dear Edith is gone...
Her work still lives on...
In the Columbia Granger's Index.

It will help you find...
Poems that rhyme...
From epic, free verse or sonnet.

Edition number 8...
Seems almost like fate...
How easy it is to consult.

At the library you'll find...
Copies online and in bind...
Purchase at bookstore or Internet.
