Our library is a wondrous place

With treasure for us all.

With books of fiction and of fact

On shelves and round the wall.

With friendly staff who help us

With our problems great or small.

And modern aids to guide us

and help us lest we fall.

But experts say we should become

More learned and refined,

With an information centre

To educate our minds.

Now if they are amenable,

To work in space that's spare,

They will be made quite welcome

By our friends already there.

But if they think to take over

Or swamp our existing treasure

Then kindly please forget it

And leave us to

our leisure.

The old Rossian
