I am now, very common,
It is beyond my belief.
You will not even notice me,
As I am walking down a street.

I have short, brownish hair,
And it has lost its usual gleam.
And it's very, very thin,
As I put my " Rogain" in.

And I am frumpy and short,
And will never grow another inch.
But I still have some of my looks my friend
And those will work for me again
When I am in such a deeper clinch!

What is better than that,
I still have my books.
And inside my books,
I can regained again my looks!

So when I read, I can also dream,
And I believe I am young again,
Inside my books it does seem.

For inside each of us are our books.
And Anything that we can dream,
We also can become!

As Ever,
