“I Need a Good Book
I need a good story.
I need a good book.
The kind that explodes
Off the shelf.
I need some good writing,
Alive and exciting,
To contemplate all by myself.
I need a good novel,
I need a good read.
I probably need
Two or three.
I need a good tale

Or perhaps an adventure at sea.

I need a good yarn.
A momentous and mightily
Or slight one.
But with thousands and thousands
And thousands of books,
I need someone to tell me
The right one.
-John Lithgow”
