A Poem for Smashing Stereotypes: Librarians get Loud!

Frustration

Her hair it is grey

(The hair on her chin)

Her nose it is rosy

(She’s partial to gin)

 

A kindly old spinster

A grumpy old bat

She lives all alone

(Apart from the cat)

 

A shy shrinking violet

An awkward wallflower

But she’s read ALL the books

And knowledge is power

No more jam-making

Forget basket-weaving

Under that cardigan

Her bosoms are heaving

 

Enough with the shushing

She wants to get loud

She’s a woman with needs

She’s out and she’s proud

 

So cancel the book-club

And IT for seniors

She’s feeling the urge now

Oh God, it has been years

 

Since she let down her bun

And took off her specs

Watch out now world

She’s gagging for ........

Professional recognition!
