[LM_NET] TARGET: How to search for poetry

[Melissa Moak <mmoak@PAWLS.LIB.MS.US>]

What online reference tools do you recommend to your library users who are
searching for a poem (and they only know bits and pieces of the poem)?  I've
tried Bartlett's and Grangers, but had no luck.

The poem I'm currently searching for is one that is for someone who is
turning fifty. She remembers these parts of the poem: "dread den-mother
phase" and "twenty: shopping for a mate." She said the poem goes through the
different decades of life with  comical ancedotes about each time period.

Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
