Reading is Sweet

When is a camel not a camel?
When it's a mobile library.

among itinerant people
searching for pasture
to graze their stock.
Health books for women,
stories for children
new skills read
to escape poverty.

Closer to home -
when is a carrot cake not a carrot cake?
When it's baked without sugar!
Happened at school in our block.
Crime committed by me but colleagues
still ate it and wanted me to try again!
