Chris and Lynne materialize in The Poet's Pocket. Operating the word organ is a friendly poet, Dr. Crystal Couplet, who speaks entirely in rhyme. All three share in haiku writing. Once Chris and Lynne explain the nature of their visit, Dr. Couplet shows them where to go: The Place of Change. Within a hodgepodge of books is The Official History of Herbertville, 1st Edition. But to reach The Place of Change, Chris and Lynne must make up a limerick.
