Berne Library Notes for Wednesday, February 9, 2022

Musings of a Library Book

By SLS

Sitting on shelves day in and day out

Looking for someone 

To please check me out.

I have many pages 

And they’re filled to the brim

You’ll find tasty tidbits

From me and my kin.

Go tell all your pals

Spending time with me’s worth it.

Sharing the hours 

Is like being with friends.

Oh no! Look out! 

It’s the weeding patrol.

Hope that I’m spared

This time around.

I’ve heard from others

It’s a nasty ordeal

They tear out your due date

And X out your code

They may even rip you 

Apart at the spine.

Hello there, can you see me?

Just please take me out!

Ah! To meld with my pages

Is a reward you can have.

Sashay down my aisle

And take me on home.

I sit here wondering

Who’ll take me today?

Over here! Pick me! Won’t you please take me out?

Awesome! OK! I’ve finally been chosen.

It’s good to go traveling 

I’m happy once more.

Thank you, you’re lovely 

I’ve met a new chum.

Someone to read me

And share once you’re done.
