Ways of Escape by Graham Greene.

Finally another Graham Greene

Hardcover, dust jacket, cover is… green.

Published by The Bodley Head

In nineteen eighty twas first read.

This book covers much geography.

It’s not fiction, it’s biography.

Some of it has been published before

Essays and stuff and much much more.

It’s the second part of his dealings

And it’s told with skill and feeling(s).

“At the dangerous edge of things”

The authors words excitement brings

“His restlessness is legendary”

His encounters extraordinary.

To Vietnam because he could,

Cuba, Prague and then Hollywood.

My excitement was great when I found this book

A hardcover Graham that has a great look.

Something to rhyme and share with you all

A victorious poem …I heard the call.

Now here’s something that’s really funny

This Graham Greene aint worth much money.

Despite the fact it’s a first edition,

All solid and in great condition.

Regardless though, I’m still pleased

That I found this gem, no pages creased.

At Booktown Clunes this book will be

May 14^th, 15^th for all to see.

Huc & Gabet and Graham Greene

Oh yes, we make a great team.

Now I’ve fed my hunger and thirst,

For a Graham Greene hardcover first.
