Goodbye Comics, Hello Books

My Superman series had Bizzarro in it Spiderman originals, Archie and Friends It was an addiction, I must admit But hours of reading fun, they did commend. My brother and I loved reading those comics We laughed at hilarious Baby Huey Spent hours on Batman and Robin Green Lantern's hero stories. But Daddy did not approve of it and so He took all the comic books away Made me read poems and novels to know Biographies, and so many essays. Took trips to 'A Tale of Two Cities' Had fun with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 'Young Women' to 'Pride and Prejudice' My readings burnt the midnight oil. Though today the comics would be precious That collection could fetch a high price What I read at that time I now put to use Dad taught me the best, I now realize.
