• Reader's Oath

  I promise to read
  Each day and each night.
  I know it's the key
  To growing up right.

  I'll read to myself,
  I'll read to a crowd.
  It makes no difference
  If silent or loud.

  I'll read at my desk,
  At home and at school,
  On my bean bag or bed,
  By the fire or pool.

  Each book that I read
  Puts smarts in my head,
  'Cause brains grow more thoughts
  The more they are fed.

  So I take this oath
  To make reading my way
  Of feeding my brain
  What it needs every day.
