Pages of a Book

        I wanted to go outside today,
but the rain has washed my plans away.
There is no sun, only rain in the sky.
I'm so bored, I think I could cry.
My mother asked, why so glum?
I told her of my plans for fun.
She said don't worry, I have a book.
I just gave her one of my looks.
I wanted to scream, I wanted to shout.
Give it a chance, she said patiently.
Just take a look and you will see.
There are plenty of adventures you can do today.
Just pick up a book and turn the page.
And so I did as I was told.
I was suprised at what was to unfold.
No longer was I in my house,
but chasing down a giant mouse.
Then I was running from a pirate band,
with golden treasure in my hands.
Just as I was to board my ship
my mother gave me a little tip,
The rain had stopped and outside I could go.
Looking from the book , I simply said no.
I have to finish the story, you see,
or it could be the end of me.
I wouldn't be able to play,
always wondering if I got away.
If it is adventure You seek,
all you have to do is take a peek.
So have fun and take a look,
between the covers of a book.


"Reading and writting is the greatest adventure of all!"
