Books - In General

Books

I love them

Even the sad moldy ones

that can't come into the house

and end up in the trash

I have too many

I don't have enough

Some that can be easily given away

Some that I could be covered with when I die

Listening to books is O.K., too

But it is not READING those books

Touching the covers

Turning the pages

Going Back to a place

Skipping ahead

Maybe, gasp - 

Reading the Last Page before its time

And when it is time

Closing the covers

There with one's hands on the tale

Where are YOUR books?

Ours are in, yes, every room 

in the house,

and in both vehicles,

and in the garage

We bring a box or two to Half Price Books

And get fifty cents or five dollars back

And then SPEND twelve dollars on BOOKS

from Half Price Books

And this is O.K.

Now it is time for the hands 

to 

get back to work

And the brain to get back 

to

 The Western Front

Many of us fight the good fight

Reading is that win-win battle

Carry on

Here be Books

Fare-thee-well,

Sue
