Long Days


You had tasked me to start a library
I had been instructed to borrow six books from two churches
A Catholic Church and a Happy Clappy Church
I chose the latter and entered the church whilst the service was in full swing
It seemed that happy clappy people were bouncing off of the walls
I asked to borrow some books but just received a heavy kiss on my cheek
It was then that I abandoned my task and headed towards the Catholic Church
The difference was amazing and I sat in a deep pew and listened to silent prayer
Finally a priest spoke to me and I asked to borrow some books
I added that I admired the Catholic Church a great deal and that the gatherings were almost poetical
He led me to an old bookcase which was partially hidden by a confessional
I chose six books on various subjects and was gifted alms so that I might go out into the world
Well read and with money in my pocket even though I was a rich man
I gave the money to the first beggar I met and returned home to start a library with you
