Book Lovers' Day

Yet another day’s here

With a name assigned to it

Book lovers’ day it's called

But instead of reading,

I wrote something

Something for LinkedIn

But my social media guru

Wondered who will know

Frodo, Shire, Gandalf and Pippin.

I had to agree

Not many would know!

So here it appears.

For all to read.

For none to read.

 

Lord of the Books

This book’s so thick.

Like the Lord of the Books.

Should I even pick it up?

Maybe not!

For if it’s interesting,

Unputdownable,

I would end up reading it

For hours with no end

Giving me a tennis elbow.

Though the cover looks beautiful.

The golden bands with mysterious writings

Entice me like a dew laden spider web

Maybe, I will pick it up.

To read just a page.

Oof! That’s heavy.

Flip, flip, flip and a few flips later

Frodo, Shire, Gandalf and Pippin

What names are these?

What is Tolkien even talking about?

Nah, I don’t like it.

I can’t spend no more time on it.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

Hmm! That book there, that big one

It’s staring at me.

Boring through my soul.

They say it’s being made into a movie .

Should I read it now?

Before it hits the screens.

Oof! The book’s heavy.

Flip, flip, flip and many flips later

Frodo, Shire, Gandalf and Pippin

What fantastic names!

What an adventure!

Can’t wait to read some more.

Flip, flip, flip and a thousand flips later

Oh no! It’s over!

No more pages to read.

No more journeys to make.

No more incidents to survive.

Should I read it again?

No, it’s not the same

The first time’s the best

It’s so sad to see ‘The End’
