Please Bury Me in the Library

To remember... a fun poem in a book by the same title
by J. Patrick Lewis

Please Bury Me in the Library

Please bury me in the library
In the clean, well-lighted stacks
Of Novels, History, Poetry,
Right next to the Paperbacks,Where the Kids’ Books dance
With True Romance
And the Dictionary dozes.
Please bury me in the library
With a dozen long-stemmed proses.
Way back by a rack of Magazines,
I won’t be sad too often
If they bury me in the library
With Bookworms in my coffin.

I will miss my students, staff and books at BGMS!
From a retired librarian
