In my mind I'm Batgirl,
Fighting evil ways;
A cape and mask by night--
A librarian by day.
No one knows my secret;
I seem so mild and meek,
But once I don my suit,
It's criminals I seek.
By day I tell the children:
"Keep reading all those books!"
By night I prowl the streets
Looking for the crooks.
Why the secret life?
Why the nightly sprees?
It's the only way I know
To get my late book fees!
