An Interesting Read
Andy wasn't handy
Wasn't interested in tools
He didn't like reading
Thought reading was for fools
He did not give much thought
To the benefits of reading
You can learn much from books
They assist you to succeed in
Anything you want to know
Or need to understand
You gather knowledge from any book
That comes into your hand
Some people like Andy
Don't even want to try
To pick up any book
They would rather die
If only they looked forward
To what might lay ahead
It might make them sorry
They have never read
For reading helps to educate
And stimulate the brain
It shows wisdom to start early
The chance may never come again
