An Ode

Valentine's Day is fast approaching and what better way to celebrate than to extol upon my true love... the library.

Pink and orange, smell of mold,
Monographs from days of old.
Odiferous is your pubescent scent,
Where fish swim and books are lent.
Spine labels, barcodes, all abound,
Sometimes in the lost and found.
Kids and glue and Microsoft Word,
Into middle school I was lured.
Now here I dwell, for better or worse,
It's a good thing I love what some might think a curse.
