A Decent Book Nothing beats, I've heard them say, a decent book, on a rainy day. Or a sunny day, or any type, alone with a book, they don't seem to gripe. But I must admit, I sometimes wonder, how many books have they torn asunder? Flipping, and flapping, and turning each way, I feel sorry for the books at the end of the day. They say that a storm is possibly brewing, they'll sit this one out, and do some reviewing. Get lost in the storm, and the ball game is over, but lost in a book, and the world's off your shoulder. If a disaster should strike, they'd read among the ruins, the calamity unnoticed, they can't be unglued. And so nothing can beat, or so they have said, a decent book, that's inside your head.Birth sign: Pisces
