Litterate

A second Kindle might appear to be
A second perfume on a violet
A coat of gold gilding a lily
An extra rhyme glued to a triolet;
It might seem purposeless, and even worse
Silly and beyond the pale of reason
But ere you start to lazily rehearse
Such thoughts, remember all things have a season
And there may come a time when books are needed
When what was mocked will come into its own
And those who in their reason smugly heeded
Such sage advice will be bereft, alone.
So do not mock the Kindle doubled 'til
You cannot need it, lest you find you will.
