I LIKE TO READ BOOKS

I like to read books,
It’s my cup of tea.
Books are full of ideas,
Don’t you agree?
Books can teach and excite,
Books can comfort and thrill,
Books can show you the world,
And will make you feel.

Funny books make me laugh,
Romances make me cry,
Adventure books make me happy,
I don’t know why.
Thrillers bore me to death,
Fantasy is good fun.
And I don’t read science fiction,
I’ve never done.

REMEMBER, DEAR FRIENDS

The more you read,
The more you know,
The more you know,
The smarter you are,
The smarter you are,
The stronger your voice,
When speaking your mind,
Or making your choice.
