Evolving Books
When I was very young,
My mother read to me,
And I met ‘Winnie-the-Pooh’,
And young ‘Heidi’,
Then there was ‘Charlotte’,
And ‘Koala Lou’,
‘Thomas the Tank Engine’,
And the ‘Gruffalo’.
When I was a little older,
And had learned how to read,
I met Enid Blyton,
Her ‘Famous Five’, I believe,
And later it was science,
And then literature galore,
Biology and math equations,
History, art, and even more.
And later in my life,
When the decision was mine,
I embraced murder mysteries,
Biographies and crime.
There is so much to choose from,
And so very much to learn,
But with technical evolution,
Let’s pray our books don’t burn.
