Ode to the Library

Ooooh, here's a poem from someone who adores the library. My type of poet!

I have an idea where I want my body buried/ashes scattered, but this poem might just change my mind. Enjoy...

Please Bury Me in the Library
~ J. Patrick Lewis

Please bury me in the library
In the clean, well-lighted stacks
Of Novels, History, Poetry
Right next to the Paperbacks,

Where the Kids' Books dance
With True Romance
And the Dictionary dozes.
Please bury me in the library
With a dozen long-stemmed proses

Way back by a rack of Magazines
I won't be sad too often
If they bury me in the library
With Bookworms in my coffin
