L The Eyre Affair

The Eyre Affair is great, not for its name,
It does not warm my heart by wit alone,
I'd read it anywhere, couch, train, or plane,
But there are other reasons I must own.
Richard performed like Rocky makes me grin,
(An audience participators dream)
That's not the thing that gives this novel win,
Nor even my own fondness for it's theme.
The funny names give extra spice tis true
To details that already make great laughs,
There's time travel, and action through and through,
But these are not my selling points by half.
   In this book one can have a pet Dodo,
    And that is why I love it ever so.
