Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

The New York Public Library

The New York Public Library’s
A lovely place to visit.
The main branch Beaux-Arts building
Is a landmark most exquisite.

In addition to its majesty,
Exhibits are displayed,
Which New Yorkers rarely think about
When plans are being made.

I don’t know why, for there are treasures
Waiting to be viewed.
In one case, there was Pooh Bear, 
Where most children’s eyes were glued.

Charles Dickens’ writing table
And his calendar and chair,
Plus a baseball signed by Brooklyn Dodgers 
All are set up there.

A special exhibition
Was the draw that lured us in,
Celebrating the New Yorker
And its hundred year-old spin.

And one final must-go reason –
There’s a gift shop worth a look.
You can spend the day enjoying all
And never touch a book.
