Some Christmas Counsel

The semester is over.
The tests are all done.
Preparations are ready
for the birth of God's son.

Read to your dog.
Read to your cat.
Read to your children,
just forget about "that."

Curl up with a book:
escape from the fray.
Your life will be richer,
your spirit now gay.

Enjoy the break. Read for fun. Read to relax. Read to learn. Read a classic. Just read.
