Today's word is "bildungsroman" ... BIL-doo ngz-roh-mahn ... a type of novel concerned with the education, development, and maturing of a young protagonist. (Dictionary.com)
Read
Of all the books there are,
A Bildungsroman's quite rare,
And most of our young folk,
Really do not care.
If something is not moving,
Or connected to a screen,
If they can't move it with a mouse,
They don't care what it means.
Though a library holds much wisdom,
In all its tomes and texts,
The young will learn their lessons,
From the technology that comes next.
