Three old work-related poems


Interlibrary loan    (3/11/14)                                


When Gaylor comes a lookin' for a special book,

we all drop what we're doing and help to take a look.

Someone really wants this precious little tome?

Someone wants this Aphra Behn, to take it with them home?


We are on the double until we find it found;

What's the cover look like, just how was it bound?

Is it many pages, series classed together?

Check your shelf and put your hands on every piece of leather.


*2020 note: really miss Gaylor.

Time for a pome?     (3/12/14)


There are more documents in the world,

from just our government; if unfurled,

would go around the globe ten time,

or stacked upright, to moon would climb.


At least I have just "transportation,"

which isn't source of much elation.

Must try to be more optimistic,

this task is only slight sadistic.


Oh, there's another serial!

Don't have to do, it's managerial...

just give that one to Katherine,

be glad and smile like saccharin.

Scattered thoughts pome    (3/13/14)


Yes, i'll say i am a cog,

life can be a bit of slog.

Fight it, yes, i'm trying to,

not an easy thing to do.


Attitude to readjust,

this is what to do i must.

oh, that house is albatross.

let's just sell it at a loss.


Also, do i miss my desk,

all is scattered, in a mess.

here's the weekend, zip, it's done;

Let's be sure to have some fun!


**Was still a couple of months from selling my mother's house (the "albatross).

Weekend! or, three catalogers want to go home

What a challenge came our way
(and so late p.m. Friday)
m and d and triple c...
those old dates take all us three!
Old Greek books, well, are they right??
We don't have the mental might.
Title page and which edition?
Anarchy, three-way sedition.
Table them until next week;
three subconsciousnesses seek
o'er the weekend answer true.
Then we'll know just what to do!
