What is the essence of a book
Open one up and take a look
A book is made of paper and ink
O what wonders one can see and think
A paragraph of words untold
Some are meek and others are bold
On every subject one can think of
From hell below to the heavens above
One theme that can move the mind
If you look a good one you'll find
You'll go to places you'll never see
But look at the pages there you'll be
Lots of information one can find
Bored or lonely this passes the time
To stir ones mind is a wondrous feat
So open a book and see who you meet
This I beg you please don't delay
Look at the essence of a book today
Then you'll see these words are true
They'll be in a book waiting for you
Open one up and take a look
A book is made of paper and ink
O what wonders one can see and think
A paragraph of words untold
Some are meek and others are bold
On every subject one can think of
From hell below to the heavens above
One theme that can move the mind
If you look a good one you'll find
You'll go to places you'll never see
But look at the pages there you'll be
Lots of information one can find
Bored or lonely this passes the time
To stir ones mind is a wondrous feat
So open a book and see who you meet
This I beg you please don't delay
Look at the essence of a book today
Then you'll see these words are true
They'll be in a book waiting for you
