MONO MONDAY - CONTRASTS

There’s nothing quite like
A good book!
You can lose yourself
Forget your problems
Learn a new language or skill
While away an hour - 
Or two - or more
Enhance your mood
Visit faraway places
Research your family history
Revise for exams and
So much more
When we have things on our mind
It’s good just to “skim”
But at other times we want
A book with more substance
Something we can get our teeth into - 
And I don’t mean 
One of those electronic things
Although they have their place - 
I mean a REAL book
One that feels good
In your hands
And if you can’t afford 
To buy them
Visit a charity shop
Swap with your friends or
Support your local library!

P.S.  Mr. HCB thanks you all for his birthday wishes and is especially pleased that he is on the Popular page!  I can see he will soon be "upping" his modelling fees!
