Schrodinger's Book

I have yet to see a copy of my book...

Schrodinger’s Book

It’s dull in this box, thought Schrodinger’s Cat
Waiting to not be, or be
I fancy a look
At a curious book
'Cos I'm well intellectual, me

I’m partial to verse, thought Schrodinger’s Cat
A nice bit o’ poetry
There’s this book that I’ve got
That is here, and is not
Just as Enoch was rumoured to be

It’s an odd sort of book, thought Schrodinger’s Cat
Made from a mythical tree
A strange kind of cup
From which wisdom to sup
For it is, and it isn’t, you see

Am I dead or alive, wondered Schrodinger’s Cat
What might come at the turn of the key
Will a curious look
In the door, or the book
Kill off a cat like me

Nothing to lose, thought Schrodinger’s Cat
As it opened the book at page three
How curious is that
Just a book, and a cat
Waiting to be, or not be
