Pandora and Her Library
Pandora’s library is an eclectic group of gorgeous well-loved things
Dragons, gargoyles, faeries, fantasy books that lead to diamond rings
There is a whimsy and cherished feeling that cannot be denied,
For within Pandora lives her inner child, with a smile wide
Pandora is ageless, this coffee mug collector, who loves her books.
Missives of romance and poetry. some collected for their pretty looks.
She has a shelf of her childhood picture books also, from her mother.
She has not kept any missives selected by her blood-thirsty brother.
Her world is upside down fun, enthusiasm on a pogo stick.
She keeps herself alive and well, and lays fantasy on rather thick.
Her library guardians - gargoyles and dragons, come along at night
She will be sneak reading next to this bookshelf with a red flash light
Yes, under the fluffy bed covers, she can often be found.
Not making a peep, not making a sound
Remembering how often she had to sneak, book-bound
As she read well into the night, when her folks were around.
