Serious Wrestles
in Serial Records
by Brian Kunde
The SR file is my home:
To keep it neat I've strived.
To this place all our journals come,
In proof that they've arrived.

My standing orders are to check
Our standing orders in.
A volume missed our run will wreck,
So losing one's a sin.

For every journal we receive,
I pencil in a mark.
I've no intention to deceive
You: doing so's no lark.

A group of drawers I've been assigned,
Of check-in records full,
Which I update till I go blind --
Or bonkers, it's so dull.

To mark up every check-in card
It seems, will be my fate,
Until it turns my mind to lard --
When do we automate?!?!
