The Book Pledge

I hereby swear
That I shall read 
Till I drop dead 
I swear to go on adventures 
Hidden in pages 
I swear to slay dragons
I swear to protect my loved ones 
I swear I shall read 
For I have been infected 
With the reader's bug
And from this there is no escape
I swear I shall learn from fictional characters
Applying their wisdom in my life 
Be they in manga, comic books or novels 
I swear to fantasize
About scenarios in my head 
And think up alternate endings for the books I didn't like
With a book in my hand I can travel the world 
In the comfort of my room
Without learning to swim
I can cross the seven seas 

The Bilge Master
