A lifetime's library my dear
Book-shelves bullying every room
Began to weigh me down
The gravity of reading so much
And retaining much too little
Time to cull the lot
To separate the keepers from the dust
So much dust on the oldest heads
Grown white exuding wisdom
I never read a book I didn't like
So I boxed the ones I liked the most
And kept what no one anymore
Wants to own out-dated
Travelogues abandoned dictionaries
Useful if you have to stop a door
