In October of 1960, a sitcom appeared on the old black and white TV sets that celebrated family, friendship, community and the Golden Rule. That show was "The Andy Griffith Show." It isn't surprising to fans of the show to know that after almost 50 years, that show has never been off the air as it moved into syndication and reruns that are still popular today. Therefore, it's little wonder to discover that fans are putting their love for the show and its characters into poetry form today. Now you can bring some of the joy of Mayberry home for the holidays!

Christian Activities Publications announced the release of the 2008 edition of The Mayberry Poem - A Tribute to Mayberry through an agreement between Darden & Associate and NovelMaker on September 25. The Mayberry Poem - A Tribute to Mayberry is a compilation of poetry about "The Andy Griffith Show" that celebrates the characters and the show that made millions of viewers laugh during the turbulent 60s as they watched the antics and friendships of the good people of Mayberry. The slim volume of poetry, which released at Mayberry Days, contains 204 poems about Mayberry written by over 60 different poets from 20 states as well as Washington, D.C.

Each poem pays tribute to a character, episode, or theme from "The Andy Griffith Show" or simply honors the fictional town of Mayberry itself with its small-town values and simple "good ole' days" way of life. The poems range from humorous limericks to thought-provoking verses about the things that still make Mayberry resonate with viewers today.
