So Many Books

There were so many books at Barnes and Noble’s That I wanted to buy but I wasn’t able Up at the counter with my chin in my hand I said to the sales clerk… I have another plan At my low bank balance I did curse As I put my wallet back in my purse I pulled out my phone and I began to type Amazon.com, open morning and night I entered the ISBN number Of the books I had found And quickly my frown Was upside down For there on my phone Was each book I was seeking At a lower price And with free shipping I clicked and I scrolled filling my cart With Barnes and Nobel’s heavy on my heart There is much to be said for a book held in hand And my first choice is a bookstore to find what I can But as money is the king of the land I must cut costs wherever I can Thanks Barnes and Noble’s, mortar and stone, But I must go with the prices found on my phone
