High On Reading!

By CS

When I read it’s like I’m smoking weed
The more I read
The more I need
I get so high on reading books
I be so high I feel so cooked

Different books is like different weeds
Every time I pick up a book I have got lots to read

When I read all my problems float away
I read so much it feels like I’m high all day

I read to get high
I read to get fly
The more I read the more I get by

I get so high on reading
So more books is what I am needing!

(Instead of smoking weed, you should read)

    The Free Minds staff read this poem at the last event I was at – hilarious! Keep doing what you’re doing. I know this one will make a lot of people laugh.
