A book so finally printed Serving so many purposes To be looked at in a minute Or to be viewed as a piece of art To be watched as a cover To excite the open heart Or to be placed under a table Stabilizing the fragile part To be read like a novel Grasping the knowledge For a book with so many purposes What could it be A book so fine few ever see He was nothing more than a book And a great book was he Maybe to be talked about Maybe to be laughed at Maybe to be read Maybe to be looked at But that book I read And what a great book was he Exploring that book like a detailed map Charting the course Plotting a direction That few could only get Fore that book was nothing more Then nothing to be And that my friend Is a great book to me
