If You Were a Chocolate Mustache QUOTES

1 " The Book Booth
There's not a big selection,
It's not locked for protection,
But at the intersection
Of Booth and Telephone,

Two customers politely
Can snuggle in it (tightly)
And go once over (lightly)
The books they'd like to own.

"Readcycle" means you leave one -
A book you love. Retrieve one...
Who knows? You might receive one
You haven't read before.

Hats off to the committee
For such an itty-bitty
Library in the city,
Which proves that less is more. "

― J. Patrick Lewis , If You Were a Chocolate Mustache

2 " The Universal Turtle Verse

I spend the day nibbling rent-free
Underneath the Giving Tree.
Me, Rirty Dat and Snerry Jake
Show Runny Babbit how to make
Up verses. Then I lug my hump
(Careful not to bump the Glump)
Into the woods to trade a word
With the argle-bargle bird:
Nuthatch wisely recommends,
Find out where the sidewalk ends. "

― J. Patrick Lewis , If You Were a Chocolate Mustache

3 " Spotted Park Bench
I am a park bench.
Ordinary words cannot
express my thoughts on birds. "
