A Librarian’s Holiday Fantasy
‘Tis the night before break; all is hushed in the stacks
save the soft thud of heads on lumpy back packs.
The staff is perplexed, unaccustomed to lulls
and unfettered visions now dance in their skulls.
Every patron a prince! Every volume in place!
Every database accessed with accurate grace.
No question’s too hard – students cheer staff acumen
Forecast sales of salt cod? Sure! In deutsche marks or yen?
What! Closing early? (They usually protest)
But instead all rise up. “Thanks a lot . You’re the best.”
And smilingly join with this searcher to say…..
Celebrate and enjoy — Have a great holiday!
