THEY ... USED ... TO ... READ! They'd READ and READ,
AND READ and READ, and then proceed

Books cluttered up the nursery floor!
And in the bedroom, by the bed,

And cannibals crouching 'round the pot,
Stirring away at something hot.
(It smells so good, what can it be?
Good gracious, it's Penelope.)
