Lawrence Hall, HSG

If Li-Po Were my Houseguest

If Li-Po were my houseguest tonight

I’d probably have to drag him inside

After he’d been drinking to the moon’s silver light

And heave him into his bed with a gentle chide

Lawrence Hall, HSG: United States; Y'r 'umble scrivener knows how to milk cows (altho' he long ago swore to own no livestock larger than dachshunds), build fences, clear brush, and cut firewood. After 18 months in Viet-Nam and Cambodia he worked his way through university as an ambulance driver, nurses' aide, and then LVN. BA in History, University of San Diego, 1976; MEd, Stephen F. Austin State University, 1984; MA in English, Stephen F. Austin State University, 2002. He also taught school, but that makes him a class (no pun) enemy just now. He has been rejected by some of the finest publishing houses in America.
