LITERARY LUST
Dark hair pulled back on her neck 
glasses frame, conceal her eyes 
the librarian watches beautiful men. 
Sighs catch in her throat for 
the tall young man. Earnest in his search 
for enlightenment. His warm smile 
causes her to imagine brushing her lips 
to his, just to feel the warmth. 
Big man with a gray pony tail 
commands her desk and her heart 
is captured. She hands him information 
on local history and feels 
herself twine around his knees and purr. 
Then, serious, beautiful: thick glasses, 
thinning hair, a brown skinned man 
asks for a book about butterflies 
she flies into his net, 
bright colored wings beat 
in time to her heart. 
Young blond cherub wants 
a book on puppies 
she moans. 
To cradle him on her lap 
and breathe that warm beautiful boy scent. 
The beautiful men, 
Spring rises in her heart 
full and warm 
but it is chill autumn that she approaches 
with landscapes that blur and change. 

LIBRARY LIMERICK
There once was a librarian called Momkat 
who told patrons to bring their books back 
you may use them for free 
we don't charge a fee 
but timeliness keeps your genitalia intact 
-- “If it’s now or never, then I’m already too late...” 
Momkat, more of Carols Writings

Thank you..Carol/Momkat., from Mary the Libtech of the LibMary
