Don’t Spoil The Book!


I heard a Mother
scolding her child
for folding across a page
of a library book.

She said,
‘Don’t spoil the book!
You can just fold
a little dog ear like so!’

Hmmm…
Is a little evil more okay,
more permissible?
How about using a bookmark?

What if more readers
fold more dog ears?
More dog ears
will fall off in time.

  1. To remember the page where one last stopped will save all trouble.:) It helps to cultivate mindfulness, and generate more joy in reading.

  2. Hmmm… This might be challenging for those who read many books at the ‘same’ time! Me included haha
