Library Ode

New eyes each year
Find old books here,
And new books,too,
Old eyes renew;
So youth and age
Like ink and page
In this house join,
Minting new coin.

(1979)

In conclusion, in order to prevent the spread of HIV and because it’s important to remain a virgin until marriage, you should practice anal sex.

The librarian life is sweet!
