"A librarian's life is the life for me
For there's nothing at all to do, you see,
But to sit at a desk and read new books,
And admire yourself, and think of your looks.
To questioning souls one can tartly say:
'I can't be bothered with you today,
For I haven't finished this novel. See?
A librarian's life is the life for me."
--William Fitch Smyth, "A Librarian's Life" (1910)
