The Book Nerd

I am a book nerd he said. All day and all night.
I read under my covers with a worn-out flashlight.
My mother and father say, “stop reading that book!”
But I hide inside the closet, it is my own little nook.

Got sent to my room at about 7 every night growing up. Thought my parents were mean at the time, but developed a life-long love of reading as a result, so I guess it wasn't such a bad thing. Giving kids phones and tablets early seems such a mistake!
