Choosing a Library Book

At the library I couldn't find a book to read


The mountaineering books were out of reach on the very top shelf

The true crime books had been stolen

The Great Fire of London books were just a pile of ashes

The medical books were unwell and in hospital


Aliens had teleported the science fiction books to the planet Zogg

The cookery books had been eaten

The witchcraft books had been turned into frogs and pumpkins

The books about buses and trains were late arriving


I'd already read the books about reincarnation in a previous life

The dinosaur books had been extinct for millions of years

I didn't know the password to access the computer books

The anagram books were all in a ledmud


The books about time travel were stuck in the year 1731

The chemistry books exploded with a loud BANG!

The maths books had been cut into quarters

The origami books had been folded into paper animals


The geography books were scattered around the world

The horror books were covered in cobwebs and buried in the graveyard

The superhero books were busy saving the planet from a deadly supervillain

The football books were having a half-time break


Then at last I found a poetry book

And this poem was my favourite one in it
