POEM: Parodies of Robert Herrick

                       DREAMS
Here we are all, by day; by night, we're hurled
By dreams, each one, into a sev'ral world.
                           --Robert Herrick



          REYNOLDS REUNION
Here we are all, yet do not share a world.
For each around a sev'ral book is curled.
                           --Jessica Reynolds Shaver



              FAMILY HISTORIAN
All we are here, or do, in J's notes squirrel'd
Away, will share us with a later world.
                           --Ted Reynolds


(Parodies written October, 1991)
