1. Library Rhapsody
Is this the real life? Yes, it's the library. Caught in a landslide...of sci-fi and fantasy.
Open a book...turn to the next page and read! I'm just a bored kid, I need a book to
read...
It's easy come, easy go, if you read fast or you read slow...any way the page turns, as
long as you come to the library...library.
Mama, I need to go...to the library, I said, sign up for Summer Reading and get ahead.
Mama, summer's just begun, and I don't wanna throw it all away.
Mama....oooooooh...want to see the magic shows, the animals from the zoo and all the
other...programs....free programs...cuz summer reading matters.
It's never too late, June 3rd has almost come....sends shivers down my spine, minecraft
and coding all the time. Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go...to the library to register
and so.
Mama, ooooooh, I'm ready to earn...prizes, gift cards, swimming passes and ice
cream!.....
I see a little silhouetto of a book...grab a book! Grab a book! Read it, get some cool
prizes. Nonfiction's enlightening, horror is so frightening to me!
Summer reading matters, anyone can see....summer reading matters, summer reading
matters...to meeeee!
