Too Many Books

You can have too many holes in your socks

Or too many itches from chicken pox

Too many fresh cream cakes on which to feed

But you can't have too many books to read

Your stomach will burst from too many beans

Feel too much envy and you'll turn dark green

A garden won't grow with too many weeds

But you can't have too many books to read

You can have too many mosquito bites

Too many homework assignments each night

A centipede might have too many knees

But you can't have too many books to read

You can have too much washing up to do

You can sneeze too much as well aaaaaaaaaah...choooooooooo!

A dirty dog will have too many fleas

But you can't have too many books to read

You could get detention too many times

Write poems with far too many bad rhymes

But want a bigger brain? Then it's agreed

That you can't have too many books to read
