WE WAIT

We are classified

The new arrival, the best seller, the self-help, fiction, non-fiction, travel etc.

We are basically words covered or presented in various forms

You come and peer at us

Kids come excited and some of us are out of the rack in no time

Some of you do nothing but go through us reading our titles

Like a bachelor going through the matrimonials

Some of you ignore most of us and go only to the best sellers

Some of us, the classics, gather dust and you hardly pick us out

We wait, for you, readers

You make the difference.
