The Book

A cozy wrap and the patter of rain
Curled up by the fire with a book
A fine way to spend some quiet time
In these precious hours so much to gain

With a book you might fly away
To travel the world or the heavens
You might solve a dark mystery
Or with some magical mermaids play

The written word is gift without measure
And so it has been throughout time
It speaks of our past and our future
The book is surely something to treasure..

Knowledge my each poem may contain; Read them and will have much to gain; For you meant, So I sent; In my heart forever they shall remain.

Hear! Hear! Great books of literature are, in my opinion, better than a college education because unlike many professors, those great books were written by great minds! So glad to hear from you! And thank you for stopping by to read my humor. / M
