85: What Kind Of Book Are You?

Are you a fascinating read
That nobody has taken out in years
Because your cover is all dusty
And your pages all dog-eared?

Does your cover promise much

That your pages fail to deliver
Are you glossy and appealing
But the tale you tell is bitter?

Are you highly recommended
Will my expectations be too great?
When I get to turn your pages
Will you be worth the wait?

When I look along the shelves
Seeking the perfect partner to curl up with tonight
Your cover must intrigue
And your words they must excite.
