The Kid X Used to Read: Vintage Classic

At a corner of the bookshelf
Found these "crispy-golden" books
Which accompanied me
Through the days long before
iBook, Facebook & Lookbook

Paperback 1800's novels
Beautifully written language
And a lot of new vocabs to pick up

the English settings with
Elegant ladies with refined manners
Eloquent gentlemen with taste for
Clothes and fine wine

The storylines which did not flow as fast
Yet do not lose the elements of
Suspense, romance, evilness etc

Those were the days
when I was less decayed
