A Book

By William Snead



A book is-

A hook

For every crook

You’ll find under any nook.



Their crafty rules

Are their handy tools,

And they exist as ghouls

Preying on the unaware,

To make them fools.



But the best of books yet

Is one you’ll have to get.

It’s the book of truth

That speaks Christ, David and Ruth.



It plays by God’s rules

And not by rules of fools

It sets things straight

And sends you thru the right gate.
