The kids are out front doing this at this very moment. It always officially ends with one of the librarians securely tied to the May Pole. I do not volunteer for that honor. I’m manning the circulation desk instead.
The flowers that bloom in the spring,
Tra la,
Have nothing to do with the case.
I’ve got to take under my wing,
Tra la,
A most unattractive old thing,
Tra la,
With a caricature of a face
And that’s what I mean when I say, or I sing,
“Oh, bother the flowers that bloom in the spring.”
Tra la la la la la, etc.

Erin,
I suspect it may well be your turn. Who knows? It may be great luck to be tied to a May Pole.

Minicapt,
I first read that in high school, and it has been a favorite since then.
