The Librarian's Friend


There was once a castle
Whose library people came to see
From far and wide
Near and afar
The librarian was a remarkable woman
Who had dared to dye her hair blue
And who dared to be different
The library was like her child and
She tended to the books like a mother
One day a man came
Seeking a book
He chose a cosy nook in which
He would sit and read
Slowly they came to realize that
They shared similar tastes on literature
And loved the same authors
And it was this that brought them closer
The feisty librarian and the wanderer
 A friendship was forged
Then one day, this man had to leave
And he cried as he said goodbye to his friend
She gave him a book
Which he reads whenever he misses her
Funny thing memory
Something insignificant to us
May mean the world to someone else
As for her, whenever she misses him
She sits in the nook
And reads

The Bilge Master
