The Inkwell

from inkdrop – poetry, places and events

The chief librarian was a bit perturbed

the books on the shelf had been disturbed

the books they seemed that all was fine

until the examined each of their spines

See with some ease and reletive dexterity

someone hand set the last chapters free

driving the readers around the bend

as the stories had beginning, a middle but no end

The staff did wonder – reasons why

someone would make the pages fly

till one day – the pieces appeared

along with the fellow – who looked weird

It turned out he read books back to front

as he moved the books with a shunt

so the library staff showed him the picture books

to stop him getting any funny looks
