From the Source

Listen to a writer
As she reads the words she wrote
And marvel as she brings to life
Each quip or anecdote.

For the effort she endeavored
Just to make each perfect choice
Is reflected in inflections
Found in no one else’s voice.

If you’re lucky, she’ll be sharing
Certain unknown background tales,
Such a treat for those attending
And, perhaps, a boost for sales.

Though a writer on a book tour
Is obliged to show, of course,
For the readers, it’s exciting
To hear words straight from the source.
