Today we’re going to the library -
That good old-fashioned place for borrowing
That good old-fashioned thing, the book - and we
Will take some back and take out some new thing.
Last week I borrowed a CD by King
(Plural) of an old Spanish town, and one
With pics of inflatable pig on wing,
And one female harpist, American.
My daughter met a friend in there; they ran
Around the quiet bookshelves, a banshee
And a bat out of hell, not impressing
The staid readers who stood, or those sat on
Chairs at the computers, trying to see
Quickly what used to take a life’s reading.
