Summary: I think that I've caught the reading germ


I believe that I'm a natural-born bookworm
I think that I've caught the reading germ
The whole world should catch on to this rage
It's such a blast to turn page after page
Reading the words over and over until my eyes cross
I've a whole stack of books that calls it my boss
I can't get enough of each beautiful word
For people to dislike reading is absurd
Those kinds of people I will never understand
"Just open up the cover" is my fervent command
The books will happily take it from there
Promoting literacy is my care
