She shushed me as the door slammed,
My arms full of books.
People peered above their specticles,
Gave me dirty looks..
She wagged a silent finger and
pursed her lips tight.
When I slipped to the carpet
And toppled off the light.
My card was marked at the library door,
When a cough sent bubblegum
To skid across the parquet floor.
Her sole was stuck fast
As I staggered past.
just to round the debacle off
I snorted as I laughed.
Her teeth you couldn’t fail to miss
As the librarian delivered an Almighty hiss…
and pointed to the quote
Love it, Ellen. It can be so difficult to maintain quiet in the library. I’m pleased that a little noise is now allowed.
