The "*P C's" are rife,

and as they say,

Things, today don't

Mean the same,

They did another day.


One time B.C. meant Before Christ,

'Mongst other "interruptions"

I here submit my own mad thought

A brand new brief corruption


In FS we get pushed for time

Many great 'tomes' to view

That's when The 'Book Case Monster'

Starts coming into view.


It's when your poem

Or other work is put aside to say

"I don't have time, right now, to read

Maybe another day"


Sometimes, perchance,

we all know this,

temptation is too great!

They 'scape the "Book Case Monster",

As to read, we just can't wait!
