Books, oh those tall shelves of books Words that leap up and off the pages, Swirly gold letters decorating spines coated in red. Lands of far away, of princesses, dragons, witches on brooms, shooting stars Stories that fill you with terror Or make you laugh with joy. Come, look, through the door, A pile of books lies on the floor. How many? If I count them all it will take all day. eir number along with eight novels more, is sum times two, then minus some books of old ancient lore, How many, you ask? ree, four, or five? e sum of three times itself added to two, divided by e unknown number of books that I finished in July. is large number of novels plus three funny stories, Gives a very simple number, the number of six Now tell me, dear friend, please tell me, How many books are in the pile on the floor?
