Bookworm Paradise

Central Library, Manchester, U.K., by Robin Gosnall
Oh library, great library
you make my heart beat faster;
you're full of words of wisdom
spread out for me to master.
With my precious ticket
waving in the air
I can own a little bit
of every book in there...

My eyes eat words for breakfast,
chomp knowledge into chunks
of easy, bite sized pieces
when its time for lunch.

A volume here, a volume there
will fill my tum for tea
with recipes, or pictures,
as I gobble what I see
in my imagination...
and all of it is free!

So I'm a happy bookworm.
Leave me to browse in peace
among this paper paradise -
may its glory never cease.
