Ode To My Bookshelf Filled With Unread Books

ode to my book shelfs filled with unread books

My house is filled with books
thousands of books
old books mostly
lots of musty classic books
lots of poetry books
lots of how to do it books
lots of history books
lots of thrillers, SF books
so many books
and they  are my friends, these books
calling me to read my books
as if I had the time to read these books
to sit and read all my books
sadly many will remain unread books

I can relate--some of my books I've had since high school, over 1/2 century ago [like a paperback of Emily's poems costing 40 cents new!] The problem is, I love reading books, I love hearing the music on CD's, and I love watching movies, especially old ones--and as you say, just not enough time....
