Good Books


I read only good books.
I don’t read bad books.
Because bad books are so terrible.
Good books are better than bad books.
Bad books are worse than good books.
Everybody likes good books.
Nobody reads bad books.
Nobody buys bad books,
Not even to see how bad they are.
Everybody hates bad books.
I hate bad books too.
Don’t you?
That’s why I read only good books.


Anything for the laughter of my Midnitesun!!

Jaime

The only thing worse than absurdity is more absurdity.

Laughter can heal. Thanks for this bit of humor, Jaime.
And which good books are you reading now, besides the ones on Jung?

You've just gotta get a chuckle out of this "bad poem!" Grover.

I must agree with the sentiment
that being noone likes bad books
but am left pondering as to why such
clutter shelves only to be carried off
in armfuls eager bad book breath panting
for metaphors whose funerals Grandparents
refused to attend lest they be seen in mere
association perhaps the endless rows of
Those called Harlequins shall be the only
surviving representation of literary culture
this new century keeps as seemingly so very
many indulge "not reading bad books" in the
insightful lessons born within each Passionate's cover offer of delight
Indeed noone reads bad books what could one
such possibly contain pertaining to life
outside forever sunshine and rainless horizons its the best seller list for me
whatever those critics glean as fine must be
best for me and equally impedes me from wasting time thinking for myself as I always have the critics and crowd to lead me
I heartily agree not a single bad book for me
with such, you will never catch me
More flashlight batteries please...

"High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy."

Jaime, what is a bad book?

I ask, because I want to make Midnitesun laugh.

I also ask, because I am writing a book, and someday, I hope you will know it, whether it is published, or not.

Because I would like to said, Jaime read it.

There.  I am smiling.

I hope you are too.
