Poem of the Day: For Poetry Friday

How doth the glib librarian
Strive mightily to please;
She crosseth both her little i’s
And dotteth all her T’s.

But grizzled adversarian
Doth rob her dewey glow;
He pillage page and cracketh spine
As through the stacks he go.

That snaggle-toothed barbarian
With atavistic chin,
He rippeth all the pictures out
And put his doodle in.

Beware the mousy Marion
Of spectacle and bun;
Her lexi-cunning vanquisheth
All he of lesser pun.

“Put down the books you carrion!”
Librarian Marion cried.
Adversarian barbarian
Reluctantly complied.
