In Saint Andrew's Scots School
You must follow the rules

Reading is cool
with the teacher at school.

A book is a present
Maybe for work or for pleasure.

A book is a treasure,
and reading is a pleasure.

I think the book I'll like most,
will be the Canterville ghost

If you have an open mind,
something new you´ll always find.

If you know what you are working for,
you'll allways find something more!

This poem is for my language teacher!
I´m only missing a St Andrew's picture...
