Like books arranged upon a shelf,
memories display there.

We can choose to read them again,
or not, or even share.

If placed in a certain order,
favourites' at one end.

Chosen ones read over and over,
bring smiles again and again.

Bad memories from days gone by,
gather dust at the far end.

Pick up only favourites to re-read,
share with a friend.

The not so favourite don't pick up,
or even recall.

Ones covered with thick residue,
never needing re-read at all.
