I learnt to read when I was small I remember the first book I read
I always have a book open, in the lounge, in the bath, in my bed
I like murders, comedy and drama, I read magazines and newspapers too
I lose myself in the pages following narrative made up and true
I cry and I laugh with the characters, I follow their tales to the end
and now I share the joy and pain when I talk of the books with my friends
We meet once a month, we eat and we drink and talk of our personal stuff
we laugh and we cry, discuss the book and go home when we’ve had enough
we’ve read lots of books, some good and some bad and shared our personal stories
we talk of our families, our loves and our hates, our sorrows our losses and glories
We cook for each other, well I order pizza, and share lots of wine and much laughter
I look forward to book club once a month, hope we’re together for ever after 🙂
