Reading

M.E. Tuthill

Curl up on a cloudy day.
Let the words take you away.
To somewhere you have never been.
Meet Crazy Horse or Gunga Din.

Fly atop a soaring gull,
Burrow inside a pirate’s hull.
Climb a mountain, oh! So high!
Crack a mystery in Dubai.

Attend the courts of queens and czars.
Open the sash and know the stars.
Study a culture now extinct.
Acquaint yourself with boys ‘N Sync.

Befriend a soul you’ve never met.
Master the history of Tibet.
Sneak a peek behind closed doors.
Search for love across the moors.

Unleash a genie from the lamp.
Embark upon a carpet’s ramp.
To take you anywhere you choose.
From Zanzibar to Strait Hormuz.

Reading is a passion.
Ignited by a spark.
Illuminates life’s journey.
Extinguishes the dark.
