An interesting point of view. Most of us in the U.S. and around the world do use the Christian calendar, even the atheists, and should be content to say "Before Christ," whether or not we agree that Christ existed as a godly figure. But let's not debate that. Let's debate your poem.
I think it's a fine poem, some misplaced commas perhaps, a bit close to home, but well put together, and a reminder to us all of how much we have left to read. Sigh.

This is very cute what you have penned. Maybe I need one of those book case monsters too! The good thing is the Bible never changes. God's word is forever the same. Teri

Comment from evesayshi
From one "born again" Christian to another - in my opinion, a decidedly true capsule of our world today, in an articulate and lyric style, in casual, yet distinct rhyme and smooth meter - I very much enjoyed the read...

Once again, you are very welcome, and no need to reciprocate - I simply enjoy reading the works of other poets on FanStory and poetry in general...
Comment from GWinterwin
Good poem with good rhyming, and word flow. A realistic message about the book case monster. Too often it seems we are pushed for time, and don't get to enjoy some of the things we should.

Oh me on buying books. I am trying to just get "E-books" now so as not to clog things up anymore. had a purge a few years ago. Might need another one. Thanks for coming by, just getting this out for an airing.
Comment from Selina Stambi
Your poems always make me smile, Geoff!
Actually, to have a piece of work bookcased is a huge compliment, I think - it often means the reader wants to be able to go back and read it many times.
Hope you have a blessed week, my friend.

The "*P C's" are rife,
and(,) as they say,
Things (no comma needed) today don't
Mean the same(no comma needed)
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(.)
(O)n 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(!)"

Hehe I forget where you are again?

I am getting pretty fed up political correctness in our society. Everybody is afraid to do anything in case they might upset some group. It's getting redidulous. I did enjoy reading your short poem.

Comment from Antoine Charlemaine
Heh, heh, heh. Well done, Sankey. (Do you have another name???) I don't use BC monster too much...I know I am so slack that I will never get back to anything I put in there. So good on you for always making the effort to 'catch up'. I know if you say 'I Book cased it', it will get read.

thanks for the review as I told Mikey if you just leave it in your messages it drops off after three days. Someone else gave me a good idea on using the Book case so I might try that too. Geoff here mate ok!

Thanks, Geoff.
Comment from michaelcahill
Hahaha. I just leave them in my message box until I catch up! Every once in a while I get a review from you on a piece that I have to look up to remember. Hahaha. Buried by the BCM! But, at least we get to them eventually, right? Great piece. Love this new format. This looks great. mikey

Thanks mate I have a feeling if you just leave them in your messages they fall off after a few days.

Yes, three I think. I haven't been that far back yet. Reviewing is the one thing I try to keep up to date on, I'm so behind on responses it's insane.
Comment from Janie King
I've never done a piece in bookcase. One lady does in Canada after she reads and reviews the pieces, what wants to keep a copy of each chapter. Good piece and point. God loves you and I do too.
