Books on the floor the bed the tables up to the attic the rafters the gables Libraries yard sales airports vacations all you can carry store liquidations. Her family, her kids, her friends got worried, that look in her eyes and off she hurried to the best ever sale-three books for a dollar! Her cheeks got red and she tugged at her collar. So they sat her down said no books for a year. She cried, she pleaded, she panicked with fear. Then she calmly recalled the box in her drawer- electronic books, nine thousand eighty four. Now she’s happy again, at home she’ll stay night after night till dawn the next day. But why oh why, all those books to be read? She’ll never be done till they find her dead!
