I. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE
A. PRESENTATION FROM CITY POET LAUREATE VIVIAN WAY BONINE
Ms. Bonine read her poem to the Council, expressing her
appreciation at having been named Rosemead Poet Laureate:
Of all the'honors in the world
that I would be most proud
to be known as "Poet Laureate,"
would float me on a cloud...
And now the City of Rosemead
has declared that honor mine.
How I would love to write a poem
so great, so sweet, so fine,
expressing my appreciation
to Mayor Margaret Clark
and all the City Councilmen...
My! That would be a lark!
But when I tried, I found that I'd
committed quite a bummer;
I left my rhyming dictionary
at my daughter's house last summer.
