Kids sprawled all over the floor
With grubby hands on books
Getting sneak peaks at the store.
Popular says, "It's a good habit
But there's a library opposite.
If you want Artemis Fowl,
Perhaps you'd like to buy it."
So the kids don't get free reading
As their parents do their shopping
And I do understand, really
Even though I hate paying.
But what's this I see?
A boy in a yellow tee
Absorbed in his Beast Quest
A refreshing sight for me.
Because it's Andre reading!
Voluntarily!
LOL very cute...but the poem's a bit too short lah, makes me feel like I was only halfway through the mains, where's the rest of my meal and DESSERT!

I see a boy in yellow tee
Sitting oh-so quietly
Cross-legged, hunched upon the floor
Of Popular Booktstore.
Instead of asking him to stop
His mommy almost wants to flop
Next to him to take a look
At his Beast Quest book.
Only common courtesy
Stops her sitting down with he
She's far too big to join him there
Absorbed in reading, nary a care...
Alas this practice is frowned upon
The staff feels this is so "not on"
"You want to read, then you must pay,
This kind of thing no need to say...
Don't want to pay then take a walk
Go to library, read, don't talk,
But there the books can read for free,
No need to spend any money."
But this time nothing can kill
His mommy's feeling of goodwill
No matter what the size of bill
For Andre's reading, reading still!!
