Wacky word play...
is then the maple in the backyard
dropping pages this morning?
What a pageant that would be!
Sew together some willow leaves--
Voila! we have a book!
But will it sell? Leave it be.
The man next door says he's leaving today:
I don't be-leave him, though it's re-leaving
to think so, even al-leave-iating.
just another page in our Book of Leaves:
its s-leaves promise a good read,
but I don't be-leave it.

Leavings
A page is sometimes called a leaf--is then the maple in the backyard
dropping pages this morning?
What a pageant that would be!
Sew together some willow leaves--
Voila! we have a book!
But will it sell? Leave it be.
The man next door says he's leaving today:
I don't be-leave him, though it's re-leaving
to think so, even al-leave-iating.
just another page in our Book of Leaves:
its s-leaves promise a good read,
but I don't be-leave it.
