THE LOVELY TEMPLE 

Temples come & go—

And, honey, I should know

I worshiped at this one

I hid away in the Stacks—

Hiding from the world

Keeping to myself

_________

It was my Sanctuary—

A calm air-conditioned

Nice Eisenhower Temple

It even smelled like—

The Fifties back then

In the secluded Stacks

___________

The campus so close-by—

A few blocks from my home

There on Constitution Street

The Stacks so open then—

William Allen White Library

Such a nifty Fifties Temple
