I Cannot Possibly Function Without Books


I cannot possibly funciton without books

Thoughts of daily activity excluding them demoralizes me

Physical characterists are imprinted in my memory 

Black tiny letters are my only trustee

Each sentence linking on to the next

As if they had the knack of extrasensory

Sweet vanilla absorbs my nostrils each time I turn a page

 

Concise, clever frontboard designs just for looks

And on the book holds a promising summary 

Inside reveals a lesson told so heavily 

Stories become one of my many accessories

Fictional characters teach me real principles 

And often control my current personality

Making my knowledge broaden like a horizon

 

So, you see, I cannot possibly function without books

Without them, the me today would cease to exist
