O Book! My Books! (A mock poem of O Caption! My Caption)

O books! My Books! You have helped me so,

The adventures that we have gone on,

The tears I have shed, whether out of sad, fear, or happy,

The many hours I have spent reading til dawn;

But O why! Why! Why!

Oh the water drops from above,

The holes in the words,

A book destroyed by weather.

O Books! My Books! Take me away

To land of orcs and ogres,

To a place where dragons roam,

Or I could stay in the world, just in another place,

Here Books! Dear Literature!

The tears from the sky on your page!

Oh how horrible

A book destroyed by weather.

My book can’t be read, the words are no longer there;

My book has no life inside, the pages torn and bare;

The cover is beautiful, covered in life;

The clouds all laugh at their horrible deed

Curse O clouds, and Tremble O mere’ water,

But I, with no way of helping the torn pages,

Sit and stare at,

A book destroyed by weather.
