THE SECRET

After I bought my big old house, I found a secret room.
Found it exploring my attic--imagination bloomed!
Broke down the door; found some neat books all filmy with old dust.
That made me want to find out more; exploring was a must.
When I first visited the house, I know I did not see.
my great discovery of fun just waiting there for me.
Now, I don't need another book, and I've run out of shelves!
Still, one can't have too many books--they're handy when I delve
into the inquiries I make; my love for all things old.
Besides, they're such great company for when the weather's cold!
Yes, I will keep my secret books---I'm like a little kid!
I'll now go dig for further treats--and hope that more are hid!!
