The Book

The book is a knowledge bank,
Whenever necessary gets poured like water in a tank
You quench our thirst for knowledge.
In student life and also in college;
You teach alphabets like A,B,C....
And also have books of psychology and philosophy.
During exams we burn our midnight oil
and read you word by word!
During exams our relations with you are
furious and frustrated.
For excellent results we pray to Lord!
You give us wisdom, cleverness and such other qualities,
Your story-book pages are full of mysteries
children like and read you a lot,
You are like ice-creams and crackers
commonly sold.
