Why Do People Not Like Reading?

Intro.
Hello, Firefly here! Fun fact, some people really don't like reading, which is a bit unsettling for a bookworm like me. So I decided to write my own little poem about it to express my thoughts, hope y'all enjoy!

Sometimes I will sit and wonder,

About things that don’t make sense,

Not our maths, our science or sport,

Not those weird things that make us tall or short,

I mean the things that really don’t make sense.

How could someone not like reading?

It can push all worries away,

It can teach you things you don’t know,

Things you wouldn’t learn a hundred years ago.

There are thousands of types of books,

And thousands of types of people,

The girl who hears, the boy who looks,

The girl who talks, the boy who will listen to me,

Surely people and books were meant to be?

And sometimes I will sit and wonder,

About things that don’t make sense,

Not our maths, our science or sport,

Not those weird things that make us tall or short,

I mean the things that really don’t make sense.

How could someone not like reading?

It can really make your day,

And tell you things you didn’t know,

Things you wouldn’t know a hundred years ago,

There are thousands of types of books,

And a thousand different worlds,

Worlds hot, worlds wet,

How could someone not like reading,

If they haven’t seen them all yet.

And sometimes I will sit and wonder,

About things that don’t make sense,

Not our maths, our science or sport,

Not those weird things that make us tall or short,

I mean the things that really don’t make sense.

How could someone not like reading?

And sometimes I ask myself questions,

How many people like reading?

The answer is that 7 billion people in the world like reading,

Some don’t know it yet.
