THE BOOK

To open it and not be able to put it down,
To love some of the characters,
To hate some too,
To try to guess the end,
And find out that you were right,

To leave the housework,
Just to get another chapter read,
To go to sleep bleary eyed,
Just before finishing a page,

To keep the pages turning,
Savouring every one,
To be absolutely lost in the magic that is,
The Book.

Be careful how you say them
