My life is an open bookstore
Ask anything…
but if you leave with the info you have to pay for the book,
otherwise these really annoying beepers go off
and everyone turns around
and stares at you…
I’m not sure if this is a poem or if you’re legit asking us to ask you anything. And what’s the price? I’m a very talented person and have many skills I could trade 😛 Like writing and flattery.
You could try asking and see what it’ll cost you for an answer. 😉
Sleep on it. I’m going to bed now anyway, so you wouldn’t get an answer before the morning.
Ni’night, Paul. Sweet dreams.
You too, Linda 🙂 I’ll ponder this.
Ah, but then there’re books that you can’t resist picking up in the bookstore. So you find a little stool and you sit and you read and you try and finish the book. But you can’t because it’s a long and complicated book and you have to get back to your life. So you reluctantly keep it back on the shelf. But you’re happy that the book will still be there–or at least a close copy–when you come back to finish it. The beeper doesn’t go off even though you’re carrying the book away in your mind, but maybe it should.
It’s true – you can’t buy memories, and you can’t put a price on creativity. But you can make sure the author has food on his or her table so that he or she can continue to share…
I think that’s why they make the seats in bookstores so damned uncomfortable. 😉
Haha. I forget what we’re talking about but it all makes sense.
😉
When the time comes to start signing books if someone asks me to create a sentiment I’m going to write; “Thanks for not stealing this book.” Loved this.
Excellent idea! Thanks very much, John. 🙂
But it’s free for me to open you up and take a big whiff right? Because that’s what I do in bookstores.
I feel disgusting.
and I’m sorry.
Hahaha! That actually made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that, Aussa. 😀
