The Library

Still a haven; quiet, still –

I feel that I should have a quill

To scratch out prose and poetry

to celebrate Life's jubilee

at my local library.

Sure it's modern, and has gizmos

That befuddle ancient dizmos

Like myself  -- but never mind;

It's a place I can unwind

And read the words of all mankind.

How I hope that budget cuts

By some city, county putz

Will not dim the lights inside

And all its beauty cruelly hide –

Twould be like my own suicide!
