Ms. Plingdon

The Terrible Irony of Fate

Among the book carts in nonfiction,

Ms. Plingdon expired

It is where they found her

Clutching a copy of The Iliad

Within the lines of Homer’s wise words

Amid Plato’s Five Dialogues

and a copy of The Bill of Rights

Ms. Plingdon met the Angel of Death

In the library at 2 PM
