Interesting and quirky poems about all sorts of things you run across in a lifetime. I liked the one about learning new things from an encyclopedia.

Soft pick. Some are so amusing and some just lose me. But still a great read.

#WondrousWednesday
Having worked in bookstores, I don‘t think I‘d want to own one. 🙈 Retail is stressful! But just for fun:

An indoor park & bookstore, inspired by winters in New England. A large grassy area. Lots of plants. SAD lamps. Blankets to borrow. A cafe to grab a picnic lunch: wine, cheese, fruit, nuts — charcuterie. Freshly-baked baguettes. Somewhere you can buy books, read, & forget it‘s cold outside. Perhaps called Picnic, Lightning.

monalyisha I imagine we‘d have lots of overhead costs (literally, with the lighting!). We‘d likely have to charge an admission fee, like at a botanical garden. No music — at least, not in the park. Maybe some tunes &/or ambient nature sounds in the cafe. Coffee, obviously. And storytime once a week. Because who am I if I‘m not leading storytime? I think the bookstore itself would be fairly small, the selection highly cultivated & rotating. (edited) 2y
monalyisha Okay, okay…I‘ve changed my mind. Now accepting rich donors! 😂 2y
