A library in England had a book on the Dewey decimal system returned and found it to be almost 50 years overdue.
A lady returned a library book after 50 years
She just cleaned their house or so it appears
This book was checked out back in 1972
And why she returned it I have no clue
It was checked out by a teacher of local school
Now she returned it because she followed the rule
This was honorable I guess we can all agree
But did she have to pay the huge overdue fee?
I really never much go to my local library
I'm on my phone way too much that I carry
Maybe I should read more and get off my phone
But then I would panic and feel all alone
My strange sister with whom I send my regards
She has this strange collection of library cards
I think it's really weird but she is my sister
I don't want her to hear so I will try to whisper
She also has a big collection of Pez dispensers
It's crazy because she is a college professor
I can speak about her because she's not on Facebook
So with this poem I'm sure she'll never look
Anyways I'm not sure why this book returner was skittish
See I really don't know much about being British
The moral of the story I guess it can vary
But please return your books to the library
