School's out for the whole darn summer
And you knew how to transform the downtime to somethin funner
So you dug it up, your card, been a hard minute since you took it on the road
And a great big bag for the load
Of loot you find
They don't make bags big enough
Gettin the mom or dad to take you for a ride
To the library, hit em up
Shelves on shelves of ships and spells
Pigs and elves, big castles of brick, nonfiction that miraculously actually tells
You lessons you want to learn
Like how plants grow or how to churn
Butter, or make your friend's heart flutter
Get a coin to disappear, reappear behind the ear
Whatever you want, it's there
And if it's not, order from another library
I very much like to share
Find what you want,
come to the front
I'll give a scan,
tell you the plan
This is how long you
can have it and after
You'll rack up some back debt
per day that it's late so handle
Your time well,
Don't get a fine, we'll
Send you a heads up
when we need to get stuff
Returned, durin the off
hours just pull up step out your
Car drop it off in the slot my fellow
Reader, this is free for
As long as you be,
come here and see
The events we got poppin
in summer they're often
The puppet shows, and authors'
public orations to thee
Arts, crafts,
bubbles and snacks
No contest you
have found the best, ooh
Haven't even told you the
best aspect even if you haven't
The need to read
there's a public restroom
Ooooh time ran out
to check out
Before your detective
could figure out
who did it, ouch
That stinks
I guess you'll never know,
oh wait, no need to get
irate or pout
Me thinks with a nudge and a wink I can
Buy you more weeks of keeps at your house
Bippity boppity boo
Your book of finding clues, renewed
That's how we do, takin a few
Smackaroos of government pumpin it back in the mass o citizens givin a neverending plenty pile of pages over lands and ages
kids and adults can have all the right in the world to choose from
You gotta use the
Reading ability heaven gave us, you better not say it goodbye
Read until every bit of slime in your eyes dries wiseman or woman
Then come in the door for more
Lines of writers dead or alive
What you want my friend, aisle 25
