Guy Montag

A man of no thoughts Till he met a little girl Who told him what she thought And completely transformed his world A burner of books Without a thought in his mind Decided to take a chance And leave his old life behind He went to an old lady’s house To burn the books and the house down But stole one of the books And The Collection of Shakespeare he found He went home that night And opened up the book And to his surprise His world is what it shook His wife caught him reading And called the department of fire And the next thing he knew He was stranded on a wire But he still had his friends Who helped him out And got him out of this mess Without a doubt They gave him an earphone And a chemical changer To make sure That he would stay out of danger He started that night Without his wife But he and his friends left With a new life.
