The Library Book Drop

The library book drop
is where it all ends -
it eats up the places
I made my new friends.
It gulps up a mouthful
of valleys and hills,
mysterious mansions
of cobwebs and thrills.
Are elephants roaming
the African plains
now giving the book drop
severe tummy pains?
I hate to imagine
the terrible fate
awaiting the book drop
if that's what it ate.
It munches on mountains,
and skyscrapers too,
and just now it swallowed
a whole pirate crew.
I bet it's not pleasant
when poked by a sword,
that wooden-legged pirates
have carried aboard.
I wonder if pirates
and elephants meet
when everything's swallowed
and day is complete.
I bet they all worry
'bout what I will plop
to add to the mix of
the library drop.
