    i disagree.....TV has been replaced by PSPOs and videogames..........e-library can bring the entire encyclopaedia in you palm............. this poem is redundant now...........a bit.

    This is such a fine piece of poetry, mixed with a valuable advice! It's exactly what my dad used to say to me when I was little: Books open a vast window of imagination...and blessed are those whose imagination and creativity is in their minds :))
