TURTLEDOVE TO VARLEY
The bookstore section marked "Sci-Fi"
Is haunted and gloomed, and I know why
Yes, the best selling authors are all there,
On Foster! On Silverberg! On Brin and Bear!
A Turtledove,
That's nice,
But, alas, my blood turns to ice.
There's a Varley, an occasional Van Vogt,
But, alack, not the one I would have bought.
Varley and Turtledove, stalwarts they may be,
Now their very names mean - misery.
"Turtledove straight to Varley",
How sad the phrase.
No new Jack Vance in stock today.
