COLLECTING BOOKS

COLLECTING BOOKS

A Poem by yorkie

Collecting books you wont read again
its one way of killing them
just like stuffing a dead animal
and wondering why it cant run.

collecting becomes an obsession
the kind you cant overcome
when collecting it starts off as fun
later on you cant stop can you.

you have the hardback then softback
they need to be signed if possible
a revised edition would be nice
maybe penguin will bring one out in due course.

I would like to give you advice
just on what you should do
maybe you should give them to me
to add to my own collection
that I may never read.
