How dare you disturb me?

I know I let my coffee go cold;

Can't you see?

This book isn't meant to grow old?

Don't say a word!

I'll turn you into lemon curd,

If you disturb this chapter,

You won't get my laughter.

I'll chop off your toes!

I'll refuse to hear your woes;

You see, my mind is feeding,

From the words that I'm reading.

Every word is calling,

Can't you feel my pain?

I need this!

I want this!

Your head should hang in shame!

I hear you shouting,

I'm not listening.

Don't be a berk!

Go away,

I'm reading!
