Take a librarian to lunch
You know that she deserves it.
Ascertain her favorite food,
And find a place that serves it.

Seek out, too, an ambiance
That you are sure will suit her.
Some place that bans all little kids
And where there's no computer.

Serve her with her favorite drink:
Champagne? Or something diet?
And make it clear that, at this meal,
There are no rules on quiet.

Ask her to tell you of her job:
Which books are circulating?
Which patron said what funny thing?
You’ll find it fascinating.

But do leave promptly when you’ve shared
Good talk and drink and food.
Librarians must be back when due
And may not be renewed.

N.B. Nothing here should be construed as precluding the taking of a male librarian to lunch.
