The Old Dictionary 

 

Denim blue cover

Shabby and faded

Papery stitches nearly lost

Fragrant with the spice of time

Generations of use 

By inquisitive hands,

The yellowed pages speak it’s age.

Antiquated?

Yes perhaps 

Yet still alive with words and meanings 

Ready and waiting

To serve

The next curious mind.
