Challenge accepted: In the land of Lib-Town Where up is now down There lived a book worm Of quite some renown Her house full of books, In all crannies and nooks She had books about travel And good guys and crooks Then one day she heard As book ladies do That the queen from the capital Liked all her books too “Take these from the castle” The queen said with a grin “It is not a hassle We’re book-loving kin!!” The book lady screamed “YOU RACIST!!” with scorn “You can’t be a book lover!!” Then the book lady mourned The queen looked on, puzzled “But I don’t understand You have these books too, They’re in quite high demand” “You’re missing the point” The book lady cried “Now that YOU like them, They must be denied!!” “You’re a racist, you see, because everyone says so. I don’t know you myself, but that doesn’t matter. Doctor Seuss was a good guy, but now he’s no longer Since YOU seem to like him, his works I’ll not flatter.” And so the book lady, her principles sated Went right back to work, while others debated. Was she a hero, to spit on the queen’s gift? Or was she a hypocrite, wishing her own ego to lift?
