Come inside and take a look

Browse around and choose a book

Open it up and step inside

Visit places far and wide

In your mind and in your heart

It will be the very start

Of an adventure you will share

With others who’ve been already there

Those who love the printed page

Lost in time in a bygone age

Reading about the hero’s valour

The heroine’s unhealthy pallor

Enjoy being lost in Outer Space

On winning that Olympic race

Let the tales float you away

Let imagination fly today

So come inside and look around

There’s many stories to be found

To make you sad and make you weep

Or frighten you away from sleep!
