Excerpt from Skyrider
Venus when he knew very well that his place was out in the big corral, riding some Of those broom-tail bronks that he was being paid a salary - a good salary for breaking! Mary V thought that her father ought to be told about the way Johnny was spending all his time writing Silly poetry about Venus. It was the first she had ever known about his being a poet. Though it was pretty punk, in Mary V's Opinion. She was glad and thankful that Johnny had refrained from writing any such dog gerel about her. That would] have been perfectly in tolerable. That he Should write poetry at all was intolerable. The more She thought of it, the more intolerable it became.
Just for punishment, and as a subtle way of letting him know What she thought Of him and his idiotic jingle, she picked up the tablet, found the pencil J Ohnny had used, and did a little poetizing herself. She could have rhymed it much better, Of course, if she had condescended to give any thought whatever to the matter, which she did not. Condescension went far. Enough when She stooped to reprove the idiot by finishing the verse that he had failed to finish, because he had already overtaxed his poor little brain.
