Ode to a Book

Oh book...
How I used to despise you.
I used to hate to read.
I used to hate writing reports.
I used to hate reading in front of the class.
I just wanted to throw you in the rain.

But now…
I love you.
I love getting lost in jungles,
Going on safaris,
And even climbing Mt. Everest,

But…
I still hate reading in front of the class.
