Munday on Monday: Self-help book

A handbook for improvement came

As gift some say I need;

For though I thought I had no flaws,

Not everyone agreed.

Among the chapters thus I read

Were “How to Be Astute” —

“Compassion” — “Patience” — “Step by Step” —

And “Seize the Day” to boot.

Then chapter nine was “Face Your Fears”

With phobias as signs…

Which came as little use to me:

I’m scared of chapter nines!
