If you wrest me from my book
Your reason had better be sound
For I’ll not take lightly your interruption
Should I not see its just cause
Reading is a most sacred time
The escape to a world eons yonder
From the burdens of this life
To lands of emerald green skies
And trees spun of candy and sugar
And dependant on your choice
If you so wish, a happy ending be
Or should your desire be life itself
A guide to the overhaul of this existence
Motivation, inspiration and answers
These pleasures of words be crucial
For healthy imaginings and belief in the possible
Please hold in the cells of your memory though
That the rumblings of a belly in need
May not be a problem I consider worthy
Especially if that be YOUR hunger and not mine
For at this moment my mind is being fed
