The magic of a book

I entered a book store
very nice and small
From fiction to folklore
it had the best books from all.

I sat down hooked
to a book of crime fiction
The beginning was all it took
for the magic to begin!

I entered a world
of fear and dread
From word to word
of the mystery  i read!

At the end of the book
four hours were done
Towards the clock one look
and the magic was gone!

But the very next day
i was back for more
The books lead the way
right from the door!

I sat down hooked
to a book of fantasy
The world around me shook
out of pure ecstacy!

I entered a world
of amazing magic
From word to word
away from reality's fabric!

At the end of the book
i put it down
Time was the crook
that caused my frown!

Books were my addiction
and i needed a fix
They took me to detinations
on my bookstore visits!

Reading is a habit good
the library a brilliant inn
For the brain it is the best food
So take up a book
and let the magic begin!
