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
