Hard Cover Lovelies
Books galore!
Nicely arranged
Like Pretty maids in a row
Am I aware of
The titles
The contents
The author?
Shelf upon shelf
Arranged through the
Library of Congress
Are they
Accorded full justice?
Sitting pretty
But untouched
For ages
Who is to be faulted?
The Librarian
the reader
or cyber- space
You guess!
Inspired by Willow's Magpie Tales #66

Of the rat race.
Hi Yvonne,
ReplyDeleteMost welcomed, thanks.
Helen Ma'am,
ReplyDeleteGoogled for the DDC.It's in its 22nd edition. Apparently enhances efficiency and accuracy of cataloguing but still within the ambit of the Library of Congress. Thanks for the tip!
C-f-S Ma'am,
ReplyDeleteThe rat race, yes, it is more frightening than the rats. Nice autumn in Sydney now?
Cyberspace offers a "Shortcut" to the book, where the author's spirit dwells!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the poem, but "Like Pretty maids in a row"... looked to me like pensioners lining up for a cheap lunch!
Ha!ha! You're back! With a fine poem!
ReplyDeleteClever, and a good question...
ReplyDeleteCute,I think people they have the free will to make a choice.
ReplyDeleteNinot Ma'am,
ReplyDeleteThanks, ah yes, back to business again.
