>Can anyone share any poems that they particularly like (are fun or
>funny) or that are library related??

My favorite answer:  A KICK IN THE HEAD; AN EVERYDAY GUIDE TO POETIC
FORMS by Paul B. Janeczko.  (Sorry I don't know who sent it.)

Try "Please Bury Me in the Library" by J. Patrick Lewis

Our fifth graders (who are currently all memorizing a poem in
preparation for our Horace Mann Idol Poetry Recitation Contest) are
enamored with any poems by Brod Bagert.  (http://www.brodbagert.com). 
They are funny, irreverent and have a great rhythm and rhyme, so they
are easy to memorize.  

We just reread The Buffalo in the Library from Giant Children, and it
went over very well.
