The Library Night

Monday Night in the Library!
Brother in his night class!
Watching two little girls do Maths Homework!

They were competing with each other!
Bragging rights, in fluent Valley Girl!
A bright Future lies ahead of them!
They can use their Brains rather than twirl!

The 24-Hour Shop close by!
Convenient for things to buy!
Waiting for your Brother in Town!
Gran will make sure you're home for Nine!

About 20 Minutes left of Internet time!
Before the Town rings 8 O'Clock Chimes!
But there's no division bell here!
Just Tesco, SuperValu and Asda!
Can't be further near!

The Coffee Machine lies in waiting!
Cappuchino costs 50p!
For I have another Half Hour to wait!
Before my Brother's Class draws to a close!

The Census form has arrived in Today's Post!
Too much information!
Another Statistic in a Government Chart!
As in two song from 'Ghost in the Machine'!
Live in the now!
Don't dare to dream!

For one must think of Public Services!
For old wounds resurface!
About the battle between Left and Right!
Who is gonna take action?
In the case of 'Fight or Flight'!

Libraries provide a free education!
But this is no longer a knowledgeable Nation!
TV have taken over Souls!
Young Mothers in the Estates!
Seeking more from their Begging Bowl!

In the heart of Mid Ulster!
There is a pain quite like a Mouth Ulcer!
Too many Jobseekers, not enough Jobs!
Everyone's trying to save a few Bobs!

So it's the end of a Library Night!
Contemplating what's ahead of us!
With the Internet provision!
I couldn't concentrate enough to read Best Sellers!
But Wikipedia is perfect for Revision!

Now awaiting the Coffee Machine!
And my Brother back from Tech!
And we'll be back home afterwards!
After another Library Night!
