Learning to Read

I'm trying hard to learn to read
But what's a kid to do
When there's a NO and a GO and a
SO and a HO
And then there's a word like TO!

Reading BONE and CONE and LONE
and TONE
Can almost be kind of fun,
But I get upset when I have to believe
That D-O-N-E spells DONE!

It's plain to see a kid like me
Sure needs a helping hand.
No matter how much I really try
I Just don't understand.

I'm trying hard to learn to read.
Somehow that's what I'll do.
But for now if you'll just read to me
Someday I'll read to you.

DONE
