Heaven Must Be a Library -

Heaven must be a library – An acquaintance in boredom said – With many open levels that are airy And plush carpet on which to tread With sliding ladders on the aisles – Coffee on tap and a poofy chaise On which to read the gilded titles And infinite time to waste. I replied I'd love to meet her there To help explore the nooks and crannies And she promised me she'd share – To my surprise, spaces such as these. That way, every now and then – She could break from reading And come find the alcove I'm in To see how I'm doing.
