WTF

I prefer to make my own remarks. Sharpies should be outlawed, particularly when one is reading poetry and certainly, definitely, when one is planning to re-sell the book.

I found a book of poetry

On the shelf.

I must have ordered it

When I was saving money.

I bought it used,

In good condition

Except

The previous owner

Used a Sharpie

To make notes

In the margin.

He must not have been able

To find a pencil.

So now

Every time I read

One particular poem

It comes with

WTF

Next to its

Particularly poignant

Final line.

While I appreciate the sentiment:

It is not mine.
