Good Books
A book is for reading
And I have many books
They have not made me smarter
But I don’t give ignorant looks
I often thirst for a crime drama
And paperbacks quench that thirst
And I read them daily
With me none the worse
With biographies I have read
I learn a life story
And I’m privileged to see
Those of fame and glory
And when I want to build a table
I checkout a carpentry book
And I know that I’m capable
With the pictures that they took
I leave room on my bookshelf
For an unabridged dictionary too
And find that it helps
With words I never knew
