The exemplary embodiment of the best of library practices!

By Stanley Collymore

You’re evidently efficient, praiseworthily pleasant and most

accommodatingly approachable; constituting, in the

process of all this, those delightful and human

characteristics that additionally comprise

the purposeful and attractive embodiment of everything

that a perspective and truly worthy of that position

librarian indispensably needs to have in the vital

job that you’re engaged in, with consummate

humanity and humility. And consequently

it’s hopefully expected that you’ll carry

on in the same pre-eminent fashion,

impeccably professional standard

and outstanding tradition as that of what the majority, though

it’s rather obvious and sadly so to those with observant

eyes to see not all of them, of your other remarkable

colleagues at Horsham Library are themselves

doing. And in appreciative admiration of

you and them I sincerely say to you:

“Interea locutus est Deus et ut

benedicat est bonum opus!”

Author’s Remarks:

With an alarming and most virulent intensity the young in Britain are consistently attacked by the elderly, cap-doffing to their purported social superiors and toadying sycophants as well as similarly vigorously too by all manner of quite sickeningly social-climbing collaborators and absolutely self-serving, mainstream media conspirators in conjunction with the usual plethora of “privileged elite” morons, who frankly are either individually or collectively in no position whatsoever to throw the first stone at anyone, and particularly so unwarrantedly at others, and most specifically the young, who resolutely refuse to even contemplate let alone actually seek to behave in the characteristically odious manner in which their elders are behaving.

A situation that’s both contemptuously and offensively consistent in its deeply ingrained and deliberately practised hypocrisy and proliferating double standards that none among these by no means imaginable older, elderly and supposedly paragons of virtue envisage life should be like, and consequently characteristically do their utmost best to ensure that it is, regardless of how inimical and immoral their perfidious actions are to the society or community in which they’re living specifically, or the rest of humanity generally.

And it accounts for why I’ve written this particular poem as a tribute not only to this specific Horsham, West Sussex, England, charming young lady trainee librarian but also in grateful appreciation of and expressive commendation to all the several millions of, I’m completely sure, likeminded vibrantly young, comprehensively energetic and thoroughly altruistically minded citizens across the entire United Kingdom, as well as globally, who’re astutely and beneficially doing everything that they can, as well as know that needs to be taken on, to effectively make this world that we conjointly live in an infinitely better place not just for themselves but also everyone who’s entirely deserving of that philanthropic consideration. 

And therefore to all young people everywhere, and most particularly of the calibre of this Horsham young lady, but not only in my country Britain, I both wholeheartedly extend as well as send you my very best wishes and sincerest congratulations.
