Analysis of A BOOK IS ALL I NEED

JOE HIX 1946 (DALLAS)



 " A Book Is All I Need "          

Oh ! for  A Look  At  My  Favourite Book,
It Means So Much To Me,
Oh ! for a Book  & a  Cozy Nook
& Just the Time to Read,
My  Book, My Wine, My  Dog , My  Chair,
That's  All I Really Need,
My  Store is  Bright  With  Warm Delight,
Of Shelves  Of  Books  I  See
Where Wonders  Surely Wait For  Me
That I May Read  So Leisurely
A  Line  of Poetry....................,
Fiction , Fact ,or Fantasy
It Suits  Me  Well, I Can  Tell,
A Book is All I Need.
