Reshelving
by Anonymous
The Patrons must believe an elf
Restores their reading to the shelf:
They leave the books most everywhere,
Except in the locations where
They picked them up. They don't put back
Their books: the Page must take the slack.
It's just as well: while Stanfordites
Well know how to track down the sites
Of every book they're lusting for,
Thereafter, they forget this lore,
And wantonly, without a care,
May well reshelve them anywhere,
Regardless where they got them from --
But Pages do okay: in sum,
If we would know where each book goes,
We can't trust Patrons, Heaven knows!
