Reading

When I read a book it tells me a tale It can be exciting very rarely stale Books are full of words which tell Stories in which the bookshops sell Newspapers with stories that can say All about what is in the news today Tabloids tell the news that is new You have to decipher just what is true If education is what you need Text books are used to plant the seed Learning to do something you need to do There is a book somewhere for you Whether it’s a novel or biography There is always something new to see A glossy magazine or a TV guide To see what’s on the other side To get lost in a book is easily done Especially if the book is good fun Reading words as they express within The story as told by the author therein Words can express the way we feel Fantasy stories or a life for real On any subject about anything Words when strung together bring A comic is funny for the kids and you An alphabet book to learn the kids too From an early age it is important to learn To read all the wonderful books in turn
