Books Are Heavy

Books are Heavy

Books are heavy. Can’t put them down.

Try to mock them, people frown.

Books are heavy. They make no sound.

They speak volumes when they’re around.

Books are heavy, pound for pound.

They lift you up when they’re on the ground.

Books are heavy and hard to read.

When they have more words than we need.

Books are heavy and take up space

In front of the nose on your face.

Books are heavy. They’re made of trees.

Without the bark, without the leaves.

Books are heavy and hard to hold.

When they are new, and you are old.

Books are heavy and they are flat.

They are bound to be like that.
