The Brussels Bookswappers Club

In the distant reaches of Boitsfort
In a café venue on first floor
Enthusiastic readers thumb
Through book exchange that's next to none!

Chaussée de la Hulpe at 1 – 9 - 0
Near ponds where whisp'ring rushes grow
«Le Chapelier Fou» is home
To shelves of books that like to roam!

Inspired by Karen* long ago
And presented on a Flemish show
This monthly meet-up draws a crowd
Where readers voice their thoughts out loud.

As it happens that new writers come
Presenting oeuvres straight from print-run
The joy of reading never dies
So do pop by and feast your eyes!
