Books
Books are friends who take you far
Wherever you would go,
From torrid lands and jungle ways
To northern fields of snow.
Books bring us gifts from long ago
And hints of future days,
And lead the mind refresingly
On unfamiliar ways.
I Like a Book
I like a book. It tells me things
Of ancient peoples and their kings
And what they used to do;
Of giants in some far-off land
And things I hardly understand,
Both make-believe and true.
I like books. It's fun to see
How interesting they can be -
As people are. And so
I try to treat them like a friend
And many pleasant hours spend
In learning what they know.
