The library is the place to be
For the info you may need
Music, film, advice and news
And all the books to read
Its an automated library
You scan the books you borrow
You can keep them for the full three weeks
Or bring them back tomorrow
Crime books and thrillers
Escape and mys-ter-ee
Languages and law
And fiction A to Z
You can even get an e-book
Or rent a DVD
But you’ll have to search a long, long time
To find the po-et-ree
Biographies and large print
Reference and religion
Stories of the people
That appear on television
Construction, contraception
Buildings and erection
You’ll have to go much further yet
To find the poem section
Philosophy, Psychology
Search the internet
You might find your long lost family
But not find the poems yet
Keep walking to the end and then
Double back around
And here, in this sweet corner
The poetry books are found
Wordsworth Keats and Shakespeare’s plays
McGough and my hero Pam
And a little known publication
