Men Fear Lady Librarians

Remember the move, The Music Man? 
How our hero was terrified of librarians.
He said they wanted marriage.
They were hunters and trappers.
They look unassuming and innocent.
Their ways are wily, their traps are sneaky.
This librarian is one of those. The men do not know yet.
They are checking out books like mad.
Pretending they know how to read. 
I am the older librarian now. I sit back and smile.
Remembering when the young lads discovered me.

Gershon Wolf January 22, 2022 at 6:05 PM Always wondered which of those librarians with her hair pulled back tight and dressed in clothing of the 17th century hopped onto her Harley Hog in torn jeans and roared off into the night. Caren Krutsinger January 23, 2022 at 1:50 PM I see this happening and often!

L Milton Hankins January 21, 2022 at 10:20 AM Hmmm...well, somehow I missed out. The librarians I knew as a young man were absolutely ancient, cranky, and very, very cranky...oh, I already said that! Caren Krutsinger January 22, 2022 at 7:34 AM Yes mine too! We must have been in the same library.
