Books take you places
You hope someday to go
They transport you to times
In the future or long, long ago
The words paint the pictures
The author’s canvas is your mind
Surreal images greet you
Where people are not always kind
You do not have to dress up to read one
They have a special texture, smell, and feel
Some tales make you laugh
While others make you squeal
