Special Reading House

 In the bookshop where I now stand

With rows and rows immensely grand

The way it seems so curious

Leather Bound Luxurious


Turn a page as quiet as a mouse

This is a Special Reading House


Looking at shelves, So many Books

Likened to a Fairy Nook

From outside it seemed a smallish shop

But Once inside a circus big top


Hush Hush now as people reed

Hush hush more haste and less speed


Not one gap between the shelves

No spare room for any elves

The Keeper asked me to help myself


I really don't know where to start

The keeper yells "Follow Your Heart"

The Bookshop really is quite strange

No alphabet order of any range


Turn a page as quiet as a mouse

This is a Special Reading House


Its such a weird and wonderful place

I close my eyes and turn to face

Books of all sizes and of colors

One book stands out amongst the others


When I moved to open it

The Pages rustle from where it sits

Suddenly bursting open wide

A creature steps out from inside


Hush Hush now as people reed

Hush hush more haste and less speed


The keeper hearing a commotion

Be Quite ! His hand jesting Motion

The Creature was seeming to play chess

What was his next move " I could only guess"


How was this possible? I ask myself

Such weird strange books upon the shelf

I left the book closed within its cover

And sort above it for another


Turn a page as quiet as a mouse

This is a Special Reading House


I could not again believe my eyes

When pulling it forward to my surprrise

This Volume grew arms on either side

And started singing lullaby's


I stood amazed, really confused

Was I right to think a little rude

To stare at these books with such wonder

What magic spell could I be under


I noticed that the Book Store Keeper

Was made from Willow Wood and cedar

My memory has lapsed since arriving here

Did I have to walk "Its not quite clear"


Hush Hush now as people reed

Hush hush more haste and less speed


Was a Magic spell somehow cast

I cant remember my recent past

I must hurry now and find the door

And make my way from this Book Store


So grand was it but getting late

So return I will another date.


 Hush Hush now as people reed

Hush hush more haste and less speed


Turn a page as quiet as a mouse

This is a Special Reading House


Shhhhhhhhhhhh Shhhhhhhhhh Shhhhhhhh Shhhhhhhh
