Peter Derk
The Book of Love
Brushin’ blonde aside
to browse the non-fiction
She’s got a thing for large print
and a love for John Grisham
He’s a shelver
Watching through the stacks
She pulls out the books
And he’s putting them back
But when she pulls out
The OED
His face is there
And he starts to sing:
You can flip through my pages
And mark places you like
I’ll teach you things about love
You won’t learn in 636’s.
