Today some librarians
were summarily shot,
others had their licked-fingers
lopped:
No fresh cash to buy,
no more books to improve –
libraries to re-define
‘desuetude’:
Once places to search
word-oddities,
where we pulled from the shelves
fat dictionaries,
but without re-filling
the reference sections,
truth will be left
to Google’s introjections.
