Linus the study boy
There once was a good fellow named Linus
He was sad with only a D-minus
To the library he rode
To study about toads
On his test he got an A-minus

There was a librarian named Betty-Lou
If you had a problem she knew just what to do
She’d find the perfect book
And tell you where to look
And send you away feeling new

It’s what’s inside
Many books I did read with my mother
Fiction non-fiction and other
Not all were my taste
But Knowledge don’t waste
You can’t judge a book by it’s cover
