Notes About The Poem

I Always Love To Read a Good Book

~I Always Love To Read A Good Book~ 
( Rhyming  Couplet) 


I always love to read a good book 
And sitting down with one beside a brook. 
Non-fiction or fiction, who cares! I'll check any book 
And when I read a great book I just get hook. 

I love them all small or very big 
Any way I get them for me, you dig. 
I travel with them about just anywhere 
And they usually take me to places I do care. 

I like them all with just a little gig 
And they perform for me nicely a jig. 
When I see a book that I really like 
I have to have it, before it takes a hike. 

I buy my books from special places, but mostly new, 
Sometimes, I can't swallow all that I want to chew. 
Books! Books! And more, I love them all kind of books 
Keep them all coming, together with my checkbook. 

I just love to read LOTR and all the books by J.R.R.Tolkien, 
Jane Austen, and the Chronicles of Narnia by C.S.Lewis also his friend, 
Give me the Holy Bible, Victoria Holt, Stephen King and Anne Rice 
Nora Roberts, Jackie Collins, and J.K. Rowling, all, they're all quite nice. 

So buying books I shall never, ever stop 
I prefer reading any time than floors in my house to mop. 
My favorite stops are the art stores and the bookshops, 
And in my list books, are always right, at the top.
