BookCrossing discovered
by BerniecJune 8, 2005
I was happily surfin' the net one day,
When an extraordinary site came my way.
What was this? Catching and releasing a book?
Didn't quite understand, so thought I'd take a look.
Excitement building and with racing mind
So which book should travel? The answer - ANY KIND!
I looked on my bookcase, which one would be first?
Choosing one down - I was fit to burst!
Where should I drop it for someone to discover?
A park bench? A bus stop? Or somewhere with cover?
Inside a building? Minimizing the number of folk,
Or outside in the open. The decision's no joke!
So registration first, then I'm given a BCID.
This bookcrossing's exciting! Or is it just me?
Registration complete, a leaving place I want...
Set off for a family meal at a local restaurant.
Took the book with me, to leave where it would be found,
Hoping that someone would see it, whilst eating and drinking and looking round.
So I left on a window sill and haven't seen it again.
But I like to think my loss is someone else's gain!!
