Read Forever

It's no secret that I love literature.  I adore books.  I love reading.  I am content with a quiet day and a good novel. My earliest memory is reading with my mom and sneaking books into bed, trying to read them with my night light.  I came across this poem last year and meant to post something about it, but forgot...oops!


Anywho...here you go!  I love the poem and have included the commercial.


READ FOREVER

Till all the books are read

And all the pens are put down

And everything there is to learn is learnt

Till tears are no longer shed

And the zingers have all zinged

And the irony is all ironed out

Till the heroes retire

and the monsters return to their dens

And all the plots are wrapped up

Till there are no more twists or turns

No more guns in drawers

No more shaggy dogs

Till rhymes stop rhyming

And pots stop boiling

And everyone is happy

And there’s nothing more to say

Till that day

By hook or by crook

By book or by nook

…..I will read.
