Read the Book

The dramatic screenplay off the grid
               with twists and turns, bent and half-quid.
                       Time rides loopty-loops, rebids,
                                   yanking bucket eyelids -
                                    trite for spilling squids.
                                                 rewrite acid,
                                                 book on skids -
                                                           forbids
                                                               kids.

"yanking bucket eyelids - trite for spilling squids." That definitely created an image in my mind. : ) This was really cool my friend.
