I Wish I Had a Book

I wish I had a book today
A book to chase my blues away
A funny book, a silly book
A big fine book
For which I’d pay.

I’d rather read than go to school
I’d rather read than follow fools
I wish I had a book to read
From which my mind could greatly feed

A book of wonder, words and clues
With lots of colors and lovely hues
A book of mystery and romance too
That keeps me guessing
Until I’m through

I want a book to take me home
That frees my mind and lets it roam
That stirs my heart forever more
And makes me want to lock the door

I wish I had a book today
A book to take me far away
A clever book, a tender book
A lovely book
In which to stay
