All the Well Ordered Books.
All the well ordered books
behave themselves just like chooks
leaping down with squawk and cluck
and soon begin to run amuck
scrambling around from door to door
for crumbs of knowledge upon the floor
All the Well Ordered Books

I have to admit, I’m seeing myself in these well order books. Then something happens and I’m on the floor running amok, scrambling for knowledge. Love this!!

Indeed. :-). Chooks are not the tidiest creatures. And any choice bits of knowledge will be grabbed and run into a corner to be consumed in secret. 🙂

Chooks is not a word we use in this part of the world, but it works perfectly for your poem!

What a fun poem! I’ve never heard chooks before either and now I’ve got to find a way to use it. Fun word!

Love the playfulness in this. I do agree with the chooks that the floor is the best place to read books.
