Try a Book
by
A.P.Herbert

Browned off you say, and blue
There’s not enough to do?
Well – try a book.

Books do not wake the child,
Or make the neighbours wild –
Books do not bark or bite,
Or need a walk at night.
So – try a book.

No tax, no licence fee
No valves or battery.
A book needs no repair,
A book is always there.
Best friend, a book.

You worry or you weep
Your sick and can not sleep,
Well – Try a book.
