There was a man
Who lived –
And that was all.
Never left home.
There was another man
Who died.
But more than that
He saw the world.
They were
One and the same.
Because,
He read.

Cool. This reminds me of the quote by George R.R. Martin: “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.”

Haha. I liked this. I’ve been transported all around the world without leaving my living room. If only I could go back to Italia ’90 when the Irish had a decent football team. Happy days.
