Barbara the Barbarian / Barbara il barbaro / Barbara el bárbaro



Barbara the barbarian
World's meanest librarian
If you return books late
Then you seal your fate
She's Barbara the barbarian

Silver bun
Wrapped so tight
Perched upon her head
If you are chewing gum
Within her sight
You might as well be dead

Barbara the barbarian
World's angriest centenarian
If you dare to make a noise
Then your pain will be her joy
She's Barbara the Barbarian

Hunched over shoulders
Wrapped in a shawl
But forever colder
Bony hands reach out
But do not get caught
Or she will see you fall
Deep into the return book slot

Barbara the barbarian
The lifeless stare of a carrion
Ask her about the Dewey decimal system
At the risk of your very existence
She's Barbara the barbarian



Barbara el bárbaro
El bibliotecario más malo del mundo
Si devuelves libros tarde
Entonces sellas tu destino
Ella es Barbara el bárbaro

Bollo de plata
Envuelto tan apretado
Encaramada sobre su cabeza
Si está mascando chicle
Dentro de su vista
Podrías estar muerto

Barbara el bárbaro
El centenario más angustiado del mundo
Si te atreves a hacer ruido
Entonces tu dolor será su alegría
Ella es Barbara el Bárbaro

Encorvado sobre los hombros
Envuelto en un chal
Pero para siempre más frío
Las manos huesudas se extienden
Pero no te pillen
O ella te verá caer
Profundamente en la ranura del libro de devolución

Barbara el bárbaro
La mirada sin vida de una carroña
Pregúntele acerca del sistema decimal de Dewey
A riesgo de tu propia existencia
Ella es Barbara el bárbaro



Barbara il barbaro
meanest bibliotecario del mondo
Se si torna libri in ritardo
Poi di sigillare il tuo destino
Lei è Barbara il barbaro

bun argento
Avvolto così stretto
Arroccato sulla sua testa
Se state gomma da masticare
Entro la vista
Si potrebbe anche essere morto

Barbara il barbaro
angriest centenario del mondo
Se avete il coraggio di fare un rumore
Poi il dolore sarà la sua gioia
Lei è Barbara il Barbaro

Curvo spalle
Avvolta in uno scialle
Ma sempre più freddo
mani ossute si protendono
Ma non farsi prendere
O lei vedrà cadere
In profondità nella fessura libro ritorno

Barbara il barbaro
Lo sguardo senza vita di una carogna
Chiedi lei circa il sistema decimale Dewey
A rischio della vostra stessa esistenza
Lei è Barbara il barbaro

Was this poem modeled on a real person? Some librarians know how to be pretty strict. Your ballad about an Amazon librarian is very funny....Great poem, made me smile:).

Another great poem. The part about chewing gum had me laughing hard. I started imagining the librarian at my school but she is the opposite of Barbara the librarian. lol.
