Only For Show
Only for Show
There are times that a book you may need
But how many of them will you ever read?
And placed out in open for ammunition
Showing that you read with a an ambition.
It is more then likely that you have lied
And all the many books have caste aside
While I surreptitiously had some suspicion
Each eye was greatly glued to the television.
How about a book here and one over there
And in the end anyway you never did care
Books can be seen wherever you may go
But, of course, they are really only for show.
