The Book Bogey



The book bogey likes volumes that are esoteric pearls,
Like “Shakespeare’s Second Best Bed” or else “Playing Rustic Churls.”
Best sellers and self help books are the banes of its existence;
It would rather chew on an old boot for its subsistence.

There’s very few book bogeys left among the elfin folk.
Because the franchise bookshops to them really are a joke.
Late at night when bogeys like the best to roam around,
You’ll find them making love to any book that’s leatherbound.

Thieves that try purloining a rare document will find
A book bogey is chewing on their sensitive behind!
A bookshop with due reverence for tomes is always blessed
By book bogeys who keep their charges sweet and coalesced.
