If books could take a shelfie

if books could take a shelfie
and post it on their blogs
(this is where my kitten pet comes onto stage
occupying the page I am writing on
and chasing the pencil
so here I go again)
if books could take a shelfie
and post it on their wall
with titles trimmed with read more or less
with biogs clipped and pages skipped
(obviously overrhyming is taking its toll here)
anyways
if books could take a shelfie
hard covered sellotaped
or in paper backache disguise
with empty pages to mock
an eager reader or shock
a highly curious critic
content deprived short sleeved enclitic
to facebook his selfie post it on the wall
a new cover to change or discover
