Book 5
"In the room made for waiting
There's a book that is stating
"There are others like me to seek"
No room for debating
This place is frustrating
Where Uni kids go if their teeth are weak."
Book 4

Book 3
"In a garden it's told
Stands a building of old
Who exhibits magnificent features
Be daring, be bold
And this book may unfold

Book 2
"In every cranny and nook
I will look for this book
And search until I find it
Just a pawn not a rook
My patience is shook
Just as giants who don't look behind it."
Book 1
"Congratulations here's book number one
Now time for some fun
It's time to look for this book
In the centre of Melbourne
You can leave one and take some
And still you won't be a crook."
