Library Week Poetry Contest (Staff Winner )
The
Dear Old Library
There’s a place where the staff is merry
That
Tech students refer to as the li-berry.
There
are computers and magazine racks
And
J.D. Salinger in the stacks.
Old
Jack Hall he is the skipper
He sits
in his office in Turkish slippers
Laughing Jeannie guards that door
You
can’t get in if you’re a boor.
Out
front there’s Carol and Christine
When a
book’s overdue-they can get mean.
And
there’s a man with the strength of ten
That’s
Mr. Mills-don’t call him Ken.
And in
his bottom you’ll be a splinter
If you
complain about the printer.
And who
is that Colombian Joka?
He’s
the alumnus called Juan Coca.
He came
back-he heard the call
And
went to work with the great Dave Saul.
So
come to the library if you burn
With a
grand desire to learn
Get a
book on math or astronomy
Or
Murphy’s favorite Bloom’s Taxonomy.
A word
of caution from Mr. Hall
And his
henchmen, Mill and Saul
And
also from the tough Juan Cocoa
Do not
bring your ice cream mocha
In
fact, if you ever hope to graduate
Do not
bring anything to masticate.
“Books
are the best thing that happened to me,”
said
Johnny Depp, and so you see
In all
the country from Maine to Tennessee
There’s
no place so ideal as the IMC.
Mr. O'Connor BACK
