Notes About The Poem

Real life has its humor!

Hold It

HOLD IT

A hold on a library shelf by name.
Man, behind-the-scenes, approaching shame.

Sneaks behind counter, tries to help himself.
Mischievous patron, like a Christmas elf.

I don't think I've ever wanted to read a book so bad, where I steal one. Borrow, maybe:) Fun one here, Mrs Kim:)

LOL! Well he was looking for the book we were holding for him. He just should not have been on our side of the counter. ;)

This was funny Kim. I can picture this even though I haven't been in a library since I was in school.

Not the old sneak a book ploy, the nerve of some people. Should be a capital offense. Liked your epigram. Best wishes...
