The Book

A cozy wrap and the patter of rain Curled up by the fire with a book A fine way to spend some quiet time In these precious hours so much to gain With a book you might fly away To travel the world or the heavens You might solve a dark mystery Or with some magical mermaids play The written word is gift without measure And so it has been throughout time It speaks of our past and our future The book is surely something to treasure..

Knowledge my each poem may contain; Read them and will have much to gain; For you meant, So I sent; In my heart forever they shall remain.

Hear! Hear! Great books of literature are, in my opinion, better than a college education because unlike many professors, those great books were written by great minds! So glad to hear from you! And thank you for stopping by to read my humor. / M
