What are we supposed to do
with all the old books we own?
There are many things we can do
that people know and are well known!
How many books do you have
Many people have a lot
Look at this creative person
Using a book as a flower pot!
The only problem they have
Which would be such a pain
If you leave your book outside
And at night it begins to rain!
Reusing your old books
Like we recycle that old left shoe
Is perfect for the Alaskan Native
Making a book igloo!
But living in a book igloo
Is like living in the Dark Ages
If it's cold you pull one down
and burn up a few pages!
Old books might make some sad
It might even make some people frown
But check out this creative woman
Who designed a book gown!
This dress is really nice
You'll never be in need
When waiting for your date
You'll have something to read!
Now these people are smart
Let's just hope the thing is stable
They've used a bunch of books
As a convenient little table!
The thing that I don't like
If you take a closer look
One of the books they used
Is a Chinese cook book!
Here's a super idea
You have to read between the lines
Cut off and glue on a box
Are a bunch of old book spines!
But for those kind of people
Who like to go book exploring
Looking on your shelf make sure
Your spines are all boring.
For those who make models
And you trains are itty bitty
Use the spines of old books
And it'll look like a city
But this photo's kind of strange
Windows have been chopped
The doors come from photos
Maybe it's been photoshopped
Now this is a great idea
Destroying books I don't espouse
But check out this most amazingly
Creative bird book bird house!
Luckily this person had
Bird books on their bookshelves
So if the birds get bored
They can read about themselves.
Now here's a bright idea!
I think I learned at summer camp
Stack up a pile of books
Drill a hole, you've got a lamp!
Just make sure you're careful
Very very careful indeed
Make sure the books you use
Are not the books you wanna read!
Lastly here we have something
You can't learn at night school
Drill a bunch of books together
And you've got yourself a stool!
So sit back and put your feet up
Because you've got good looks
Because there are many things out there
To do with your old books!
Finally I have the best idea
My idea is one real gem
What to do with your old books?
How bout you sit and read them!
