I Used to Read by Professor Bert Lorenzo

I used to read biography.

My mom bought them for me.

She said I’d learn about success

and how to avoid catastrophe.

I used to read World Book Encyclopedia.

All summer I read article after article.

What a cornucopia!

I used to read history.

I learned events repeat themselves

so the future really isn’t a mystery.

I used to read fiction.

In college it became my predilection.

I read it so much it felt like an addiction.

I read all sorts of things

from the Bible to Lord of the Rings.

Every day now I read the paper.

Filled with news when I leave my house

I feel safer.

I read everything from anthropology to zoology.

I even skim astrology.

I turn page after page

in search of wisdom from some sage.

I read all sort of text.

What will I read next?
