Poem: Book Borrower(just one of many similar opinions about people who borrow books as compiled by Robert Service)Book Borrower
I am a mild man, you'll agree,
But red my rage is, When folks who borrow books from meTurn down their pages. Or when a chap a book I lend, And find he's loaned it Without permission to a friendAs if he owned it. But worst of all I hate those crooks (May hell-fires burn them!) Who beg the loan of cherished booksAnd don't return them. My books are tendrils of myself No shears can sever . . . May he who rapes one from its shelfBe damned forever.
