Something to Read
A number one best-seller.
There is a book that I have not read
whose first edition I’d like to own.
I am told that it is crammed with tales
that are interesting and well known.

I wonder if it’s copyrighted
and why owners have different names;
sometimes it’s said to be Gideon’s
but often belonging to King James.

The marketing must be very good

a miracle for something so old.

that is bound to give me a headache;
it’s important to know who wrote it
because the royalties are at stake.

And from the Word sprang the World and in the World there came to be many writers who took the Word and made it theirs, to the delight of the World. A worthy “Nib”, Luigi.
Something a bit different, Bhi, that has been described both as irreverent and irrelevant. It should cater to all tastes.
Thanks for your welcome comment.
May I also add my felicitations on the auspicious accolade of a nib? A most worth recipient!
Thanks Dodge, a welcome surprise
