Books are grand and books are keen...
The very best, that I have seen.
The books that I have read...
Are the best that I, reread.
Turning the pages can make me sad...
Yet of others that make me glad.
Books of some pasts, have been burned...
And of others, have I learned.
Books are the gateway to the mind of heart...
Books are the works of some genius's art.
For had i thought to read much younger...
My reading appetite would have yearned
a much more, appealing hunger.
