A great book is a homing device
For navigating paradise.

A good book somehow makes you care
About the comfort of a chair.

A bad book owes to many trees
A forest of apologies.

If they bury me in the library
With bookworms in my coffin.

The Ladybug wears no disguises.
She is just what she advertises.
A speckled spectacle of spring,
A fashion statement on the wing....
A miniature orange kite.
A tiny dot-to-dot delight.

Spotted Park Bench
I am a park bench.
Ordinary words cannot
express my thoughts on birds.

The Book Booth
There's not a big selection,
It's not locked for protection,
But at the intersection
Of Booth and Telephone,

Two customers politely
Can snuggle in it (tightly)
And go once over (lightly)
The books they'd like to own.

"Readcycle" means you leave one -
A book you love. Retrieve one...
Who knows? You might receive one
You haven't read before.

Hats off to the committee
For such an itty-bitty
Library in the city,
Which proves that less is more.

The Universal Turtle Verse

I spend the day nibbling rent-free
Underneath the Giving Tree.
Me, Rirty Dat and Snerry Jake
Show Runny Babbit how to make
Up verses. Then I lug my hump
(Careful not to bump the Glump)
Into the woods to trade a word
With the argle-bargle bird:
Nuthatch wisely recommends,
Find out where the sidewalk ends.
