The Book-Loving Chap

There once was a book-loving chap,

Who devoured each page like a snack.

From fiction to science,

He craved every alliance,

And his knowledge just kept growing in stacks!

*

He traveled the world through the words,

And learned of strange creatures like birds,

He read of adventures,

And amazing inventions,

His passion for reading was absurd!

*

The shelves in his house overflowed,

With books of all kinds, he bestowed,

Each one had a story,

Of love, life, and glory,

And the secrets of the world they bestowed.

*

One day he stumbled on a tome,

An ancient book that led him to roam,

Through time and through space,

He found a new place,

And never again was he alone.

*

Through books, he met new friends,

Characters who'd never reached their ends,

He laughed and he cried,

As their stories, he spied,

His love for reading would never bend.

*

So if you're in need of some cheer,

Just pick up a book and come near,

For stories will take you,

To places, you never knew,

And fill your heart with joy all year!
