I Am Bored With Books
Books were interesting
Books were short
Books were fun to read along
But now words have become hard to read
So confusing like beads and seeds
No monitor light
To make them stand out bright
No friends to say hello
While reading a page from Longfellow
If got stuck on a word unknown
No automatic dictionary to let it be known
No multiple windows to pass thru
When mind wavers and need other brew
Books once lead me to other lands
Now with internet I have many hands
I am bored with books, I really am
For they aren’t ships that sail the seas
Only dust collectors made of trees
