Fine, Sally!
__ Ah, those magic of books with real paper pages, as an older person I see nothing better and your verse fully explains their portable importance. _m
beach book
with too many periods
grains of thought
This made me smile and keep on smiling. And there's so much back story packed into these few words: lazy reading days on a beach holiday. I could almost smell the suntan oil, feel the sun on my shoulders!
Ah, used to be plagued by overdue books! So often one year that I raided my various penny bags and would spend two or more minutes feeding the library machine. The librarians hated it, but at least I was putting money back into the libraries which are being rid of by our current governments.
That was my old local library, and this is from a library in another city:
