MY BOOKS

I love my books

They are the homes

Of queens and fairies,

Knights and gnomes.

Each time I read I make a call

On some quaint person large or small,

Who welcomes me with hearty hand

And lead me through his wonderland.

Each book is like

A city street

Along whose winding way I meet

New friends and old who laugh and sing

And take me off adventuring!
