Book Burners
Books burners are on the loose again
Wanting to change honoured works to not offend
Noddy and Big Ears have gone
And Roald Dahl’s classic have lost their song
But these burners don’t have Jack boots
And Heil Hitler is not their salute
For burning with bonfires is old fashioned
Changing book text is their way of bashing
For protected we all will be
From naughty adjectives they do see
And describing is out of touch
Changing the text destroys the work enough.
