Harriet Settle In

The welcome she received

left her astounded

by the folks in BG

she seemed surrounded


The library was real

her dream come true

now she had to get busy

so much to do


There was even talk

of her teachin' a school

readin' and writin'

and the Golden Rule


She'd never taught little children

but that would be fine

and if that happened

she'd need another sign


Unloaded her wagon

took the books all inside

then placed them on shelves

with a mother's pride


There were books on everything

from A to Zed

about imagination and history

just waiting to be read


Harriet straightened her desk

added a vase of cut flowers

then wrote up a sign

stating the library hours
