Millie the Mermaid was a Reading Machine

Millie, the mermaid was a reading machine. It started with a shipwreck, among the marine. A library for a king had gone down in the wreck. I can teach myself to read, she said without genuflect. She started with picture books, one word on a page Those old Dick, Jane and Sally texts which tells my age. Moved on to primers and dictionaries with pix. Now she is reading novels, instead of watching flicks. She has read almost every book in this library now. Currently reading a textbook on how to raise a goat or cow. If I had legs, I would get on land and grab more books she groused. I’d read poet from Poe, Coleridge, Emerson, Browning and Foust.
