Terry Donovan - Oxfam Shop

Terry Donovan - Oxfam Shop

The Oxfam Shop book section br Had the usual array, br Ancient road maps, Jeffrey Archer, br Three copies of the Guinness Book of Records br The Idiot's Guide to Windows 95 br And lots of copies of those little green books br Which the Jehova's Witnesses give away. br Cook-books in abundance, br Mills & Boom galore br Shelves of forgettable fiction, br One-time best-sellers and a few old Penguins br Like Lady Chatterly's Love and Nineteen-Eighty-Four. br Two Spanish-English Dictionaries, br A Ford Anglia owner's manual, br A blood-stained DIY book br And - of course - The Rose Growers' Annual. br But, as ever, tucked away, unobtrusive and thin, br Overlooked by everyone like a plain biscuit in an assorted-biscuit tin, br I came across at last br A little book of poetry, a school book from the past. br br And I bought it.
