6. The Catcher in the Rye

The Catcher in the Rye (Sonnet - Iambic Tetrameter)

I am the Catcher in the Rye
Someone that nobody can find
Merely a Catcher in the Rye
I'm not a bad guy; I am KIND
No one stops Catcher in the Rye
Who catches children in the rye
And as the Catcher in the Rye
I must stop kids before the find
The world of Catcher in the Rye
Which made him Catcher in the Rye
The phony world I must revive
As the great Catcher in the Rye
