And I’m off to the unknown, the wind in my sails!
Don’t you love an adventure you’re challenged to win?
With a sprinkling of romance, and intrigue thrown in?

A poor hapless hero, a girl on his sleeve;
Spaceships, or spys, or a den full of thieves?
A murder to solve, a soft-hearted frail;
A who-done-it villain and clues to the trail?

Were actors who play on a dimly lit stage;
Puppets on strings til the very last page!

Time and reality offer no sway;
While we climb in a book for a nice lengthy stay;
With a child who is teaching our grown up to play!

Give me book, a paperbound tale.
And I’m off to the unknown, the wind in my sails!
Don’t you love an adventure you’re challenged to win?
With a sprinkling of romance, and intrigue thrown in?

A poor hapless hero, a girl on his sleeve;
Spaceships, or spys, or a den full of thieves?
A murder to solve, a soft-hearted frail;
A who-done-it villain and clues to the trail?

Were actors who play on a dimly lit stage;
Puppets on strings til the very last page!

Time and reality offer no sway;
While we climb in a book for a nice lengthy stay;
With a child who is teaching our grown up to play!
