To The Book Borrower - II

Again because nobody ever returns books they borrow...
You can read Part I by clicking on the following link - TTBB-I.

In the beginning, ownership is remembered. Then, slowly, it becomes an illusion. Finally, it comes to rest with the borrower!

TO THE BOOK BORROWER - II
---------------------------------------------

This is Tom’s tome.
Used to be Tom’s tome?
Hey you, are you Tom’s tome’s tomb?

-Thomas Jay Cubb

Notes
-------
1. A Cryptic Explanation
L1 - Statement of possession
L2 - Statement post-prehension
L3 - Statement of new position (and possession)

2. Line three used to be Hey you, you's to be...? but changed it later on, because it made it too cryptic, defeating my intent behind writing it on the book!!

3. TTBB-I was more efficacious - with this, the reason was sometimes lost in the rime!


------------------------------------------
JUST-IN-CASE LEXICON

Tome - a book
Tomb - the final resting place
