/// The librarian made a deposit
to the “special” books stored in a closet.
When they’re written by hacks
they’re removed from the stacks,
like this Calculus/Porno composite.

/// Later on a man, Wally, implored her,
“Let me check it out on special order.”
The book, “No Limits Math,”
(by a known psychopath)
never came back from Wally, a hoarder.

/// On his bookshelf Coreen’s fingers drummed.
What she’d found there her senses had numbed.
“How to Murder Your Wife,”
(a clear threat to her life),
in her husband’s book closet, well-thumbed.

/// The discovery made Coreen bellow,
for, her spouse, a meticulous fellow,
never left things to chance,
always planned in advance,
and had highlighted methods in yellow.

/// Had Coreen made a mental reminder
not to stand where he might sneak behind her,
she’d perhaps killed him first.
Now her friends fear the worst,
but Coreen’s somewhere no one will find her.
