A very charming gentleman, as old as old could be, Stared a while, and glared a while, and then he said to me: "Read your books, and heed your books, and put your books away, For you will surely need your books upon a later day". And then he wheezed , and then he sneezed, and gave me such a look. And then he said, "Mark -me - boy! Be careful of your books"
