Books

In books of words and phrases
One finds literature that amazes
If you flick through a book
Or take time out to look
Your emotions and knowledge it raises

You have honored all books in this limerick, and I also love them all! Except MATH books.

Thank you, Jenish. Things are changing too quickly for this Old Duck, I am finding it hard to adapt. John reads books on the computer. I feel sad to think that this will be the norm soon and the romance of reading a nicely bound illustrated book may be gone forever... Take care...Shirley
