A Bookshop

A world full of words, a wonderful place,

For any young person whose joy is to face

Shelves stocked with books when they come in to work,

Not knowing what gems in their pages might lurk.

A great opportunity, all in the firm's time,

To read ancient prose and to learn about rhyme,

While helping the customers find something new,

Which for the enthusiast's a pleasure to do.

There's so much one can learn when surrounded by books,

With topics of interest wherever one looks.

There're volumes on science, on transport and health,

And sections on cookery, on travel and wealth,

History and poetry both have their place,

Whilst gardening and needlework also have space.

Religion and floristry, farming and arts,

All types of sport from ice hockey to darts.

Whatever your interest, you'll certainly find,

Something to help you to broaden your mind.

If a bookshop's the place where you spend all your days,

You have  thousands of volumes right under your gaze,

And if books are just something you really adore,

Then a job in a bookshop - who could want more?
