When You Can Read
When you can read, 
then you can go from Kalamazoo to Idaho
Or read directions that explain
just how to build a model plane
Or bake a cake or cook a stew
The words will tell you what to do!
When you can read, then you can play
a brand new game the proper way
Or get a letter from a friend
and read it…to the very end. ~Bobbi Katz
