Better than books?


People find me treacherously boring
Totally reserved and extremely uninteresting
I inquire and begin with my questioning
They argue and summarize their reasoning-
‘I am a person superlatively book-loving!’

This gives me a disappointment- utterly sheer
Though I find it really very queer
Problems with my books! Oh dear,
Accept this truth without any fear
Books are our best peer!

Here I showcase my reason
For being a bibliophile in every season
I put forward my explanation
Books free me of all my tension
And give me great satisfaction!

They do not argue, they do not ask-
Any return favor for any done task
The do not ditch, they wear no mask
They easily forgive, and break no hearts
They have no ego and do not expect rewards!

They exhibit great characteristics,
which make them so magnetic
Unlike humans, they aren’t sarcastic
Neither selfish nor shrewd diplomatic
Directly put, simply forward- they are so charismatic!

Little do I enjoy partying, seldom do I watch movies
I am not crazy for shopping nor am I like ‘typical’ ladies
I enjoy reading novels, getting puzzled solving puzzles
Find pleasure in newspapers, electronics and kernels
And my mind knows no bounds while reading astrals!

Whenever I am depressed, or whenever I am low
Whenever I am alone and I need one or two
When TV does not help, and also fails my piano
I always find my books- lying beside my pillow
Potter, Poirot and Whittaker- all in a row!

Books make us what we really desire
They direct us closer to what we aspire
Time will pass and things will expire
People will leave in our needs so dire
But my friend! Books will be there whenever we require!
