Books, oh those tall shelves of booksWords that leap up and off the pages, Swirly gold letters decorating spines coated in red.

Lands of far away, of princesses, dragons, witches on brooms, shooting starsStories that fill you with terror Or make you laugh with joy.

Come, look, through the door,A pile of books lies on the floor.How many? If I count them all it will take all day.

Their number along with eight novels more,This sum times two, then minus some books of old ancient lore,How many, you ask? Three, four, or five? The sum of three times itself added to two, divided byThe unknown number of books that I finished in July.

This large number of novels plus three funny stories,Gives a very simple number, the number of sixNow tell me, dear friend, please tell me, How many books are in the pile on the floor?
