Books
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 aren’t always kind.
You don’t have to dress up to read one.
They’ve got a special texture, smell, and feel.
Some tales make you laugh
While others make you squeal.
