A book got bored

A stultified book got so bored being read
And decided to go for a walk for a change.
Perambulating in a canopied park touched with open glades,
Overcoming blasé, Shading halitosis,
Now feeling salubrious ,
Pulchritude damsels It then came across
And invited them for a sit
And offered to recite a shaggy-dog story,
That tells in love
how the book once got itself involved.
Enchanted by a book that mellifluously talks,
the nubile damsels sat on a bench,
A reclusive loner happens to perch..
However, before turning over its outer sheath
to the relevant sheaf,
It recognise the face
of the pedantic bookworm
It thought it had left at home.
Unable to handle his occurrence -
Despondent and dismayed
The book skedaddled leaving the girls behind.
Who were left flabbergasted and
Curious what had happened to know.
That was when he met and talk to a woman
for the first time since fully grown;
And who later gave him five children,
Ever since then
He too a page he had never turn.
