The Book of Books

There are books in the making and books in the store,

There are books on the table, and books on the floor.

The library and stockroom have books piled up high,

There are more to be written and more I must buy.

Historical novels, biographies too;

Each week brings a dozen exhausting “Who’s who?”,

There is fiction that’s truthful, and fiction that’s trash,

There’s an orderly volume and another mere hash.

There’s a new book of science and a book of the play,

There’s the book of the year and the book of the day,

There are books to refer to and some to ignore,

There are books that will thrill you and others will bore.

But the Book of the Ages, of balance and power

Is the Book called the Bible, the Book of the hour!

Exhaustless  it’s treasure, eternal its store

All the best of the others you’ll find here – and more!
