A Mother’s Take on Librarians,
with Reply

Robert Lawrence

A librarian, Roxy?
Is that your dream job?
A librarian is like Flo,
that Progressive Insurance lady
on TV: a tad retro
a touch eccentric
an aura of innocence;
but her hot hot red lips—
what do they represent?
Yes! Duplicitous librarians
live double lives:
they look so prim and proper
behind their spacious desks,
but they drink too much booze
and they read lascivious books
to unsuspecting youth,
exposing the sex-splashed covers
exposing the graphic details
as a prelude
to exposing their corrupt flesh
to convert innocent victims
to the wickedness of their ways.
Yes! That’s how they “educate” us!
And are they ever overpaid!
Who needs their “research assistance”
when you can google anything these days!
Please, Roxy, make your mother proud;
choose an honest, out-front profession
one that uplifts and refreshes.

But Ma, I don’t wanna be a stripper.
I want to be a librarian.
