A BOOK IS ALL I NEED
" 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.
