Ode to our Precious Books

Book, with your crisp pages
Wearing those small words
You, your brothers, your sisters
All carrying those mind-capturing stories
Are irresistable
How dull our boring lives would be
Without you to entertain us
Books, we need you
Like our bodies need oxygen
Books, without you
There is no reason to live
Just as the sun brightens our day
You fill it
With horror, romance, drama, mystery, and more
And help us imagine ourselves in lives
That we only dream of
