I Love Books

[grannyjill]

I love books, that's a simple fact.
(Any volume, tome or tract)

I love books to read and to possess.
But I hate to dust them, I confess.

And so despite disapproving looks
I own a collection of dirty books.

Edit *snigger (snicker, for our American cousins) - dirty books/pornographic books, nudge, nudge, - ya'know?

Why would they come with dust jackets, if they weren't supposed to get dirty?

How droll of you! Enjoyed, of corpse

Sounded kinda like the style of Shel Silverstein. He sometimes closed by modifying the first line.

I liked it!
