BETWEEN THE PAGES

 

People are like books

Don’t judge them by their covers

For what’s on display and what’s inside

Differs from one to another

Some books are so attractively packaged; they are the first to attract you on the shelves

As soon as you turn the pages you realize, they are just empty shells

Some covers are so sedate, boring and plain

Your eyes look past them time and again

But upon reading, each page surprises you

There was so much hidden in there, you didn’t have a clue!

Then there are the paperbacks, only good for a light read

Once they serve their purpose, for them there is no further need

Encyclopedias are another, tomes of knowledge they provide

Bought out only when needed, otherwise on shelves they occupy places of pride

Magazines filled with gossip, maligning people without a thought

They only make good reading, when you’re on the pot!

Then there is the good ole dictionary, which holds so many answers inside

It accompanies you like a trusted friend and grows with you side by side

There are so many books, as there are people

Here I’ve mentioned just a few

I hope I’ve set you thinking

Which of these books are you?!!!
