I know
there are many
books in the library,   
but you should check this one out since   
it is
 
very
interesting.  
You can learn new things from
books like this one - just see the way
their words

spread ink
across the page,
so much like jam on bread:   
so sweet that people just can't stop
gobbling
 
up the
nourishment. The
words feed readers' brains with
knowledge regarding many things.
You know,  
  
it would
not hurt if you
could pick up this book once.   
Please read and listen to me, I'm
lonely.
