Away at the Ref Desk
(to the tune of Away in a Manger)
Away at the
Ref desk,
His last
chat complete,
The quick
reference shelver
Had a desk
shift so sweet.
Exams were
all over,
The staff
were downstairs,
The few
that were left were
Asleep in
their chairs.
His status
was current,
His
Scrabble move made,
The birds
were not angry,
His iPhone
mislaid.
He loves
the library,
He will
sometimes sigh,
One more
"Where's the bathroom?"
Just might make
him cry.
He's cool
and efficient,
And finds
all the facts,
He could
have been April
Bless all
the libraries,
Librarians
too,
He loves
his true calling,
And does it
for you.

Fab, as always!! Nice nod to Men of the Stacks, which featured 2 of our NJ guys.
I'm going to share on my LAE FB page if you don't mind...
I can hardly wait till next December!

Nice! Normally I snap when people characterize reference as answering "where's the bathroom?" but if it's buried in funny, well then, well done!
