I was born reading -
came out of the womb
with a book
(I've got my mom's word for that
and a medical certificate
which in length runs up
to a doctoral dissertation)
so I walked into the local library
when I was just 3
and was welcomed at the doors
like a celebrity
and I went up straight
to the most difficult thing
and read Shakespeare;
and the Hands of Wisdom
led me quick to the
Bard's gem:
Neither a borrower nor a lender be
I've never been to a library since

'and a medical certificate which in length runs up to a doctoral dissertation' these clever lines alone were worth a 10 which was exactly what I voted, nicely penned
