If you had to spend the rest of your life as a book upon a shelf,

Who would you want living right next door? Would it be difficult choosing friends for yourself?

Would you be satisfied living close to graveyards, where mysterious figures carry torches of light?

Perhaps next door would lay battlefields, where dying men cry out during the night.

How would it feel to be placed cover to cover to a great president of the past?

It could be exciting to reside so near the inventor who created electricity at last!

I must say that I have decided where to live upon that shelf.

I choose to be placed between two dictionaries..
to define the meaning of ..myself!
