BODLEIAN BARK

(With Soviet offspring as library curators)

To be or not to be -
A book - at Oxford University.
A rare book at Oxford
In a thick tank - unheard of,
Prior to shipping or X-ray...

If I only may say
There is no question about it.
No more Oxford gray -
Rather transport of wit

Hip, hip, hurrah.
