I can read in blue.
I can read in pickle-color too.
I can read in bed.
And in purple.
And in brown.
I can read in a cercle and upside-down!
I can read with my left eye.
I can read with my right.
I can read Mississippi with my eyes shut tight!
Mississippi,
Indianapolis,
and
Hallelujah,
too!
I can read them
with my eyes shut!
That is
VERY HARD
to do!
But it's bad
for my hat
and makes
my eyebrows
get red hot.
SO...
lire with
my eyes shut
I don't do an awful lot.
And when I keep them open
I can read with much plus speed.
toi have to be a speedy reader
'cause there's so, so much to read!
toi can read about trees...
and bees...
and knees.
And knees on trees!
And bees on threes!
toi can read about anchors.
And all about ants.
toi can read
about ankles!
And crocodile pants!
toi can read about hoses...
and how to smell roses...
and what
toi should do
about owls on noses!
Young cat! If toi keep
your eyes open enough,
oh, the stuff toi will learn!
The most wonderful stuff!
You'll learn about...
fishbones...
and wishbones.
You'll learn
about trombones,
too.
You'll learn
about Jake
the oreiller Snake
and all about
Foo-Foo the Snoo.
toi can learn about ice.
toi can learn about mice.
Mice on ice.
And ice on mice.
toi can learn about
the price of ice.
Nice ice
for sale.
Ten cents a pail.
toi can learn about SAD...
and GLAD...
and MAD!
There are
so many things
toi can learn about.
BUT...
you'll miss
the best things
if toi keep
your eyes shut.
The plus that toi read,
the plus things toi will know.
The plus that toi learn,
the plus places you'll go.
toi might learn
a way to earn
a few dollars.
ou how to make doughnuts...
ou kangourou collars.
toi can learn to read music
and play a Hut-Zut
if toi keep your eyes open.
But not with them shut.
If toi read with your eyes shut
you're likely to find
that the place where you're going
is far, far behind
SO...
that's why I tell you
to keep your eyes wide.
Keep them wide open...
at least on one side.
