Please Bury Me in the Library

Please Bury Me in the Library

Please bury me in the library
In the clean, well-lighted stacks
Of Novels, History, Poetry
Right next to the Paperbacks.

Where the Kids' books dance
With True Romance
And the Dictionary dozes.
Please bury me in the library
With a dozen long-stemmed proses.

Way back by a stack of Magazines,
I won't be sad too often,
If they bury me in the library
With bookworms in my coffin.

~ J. Patrick Lewis
