I Lik the Bred-Library Edition

Submitted by Durham Tech Library on

Memes. They rise and fall through blog posts and comment sections. Places like Reddit, Tumblr, and Twitter are full of them. Allow me to introduce you to my favorite meme of 2017: I lik the bred. (I know it's only February, but I'm confident about this.) brown cow head with green grass and other cows grazing in the background For an explanation of the origin, history, and evolution of the meme see this summary on Buzzfeed.  So, without further ado, here are a few Durham Tech Library additions:

My name is book
and in the daye
I wayt for student
eyes to laye
upon my spine
and wyth no dout
they pik me up
and chek me out.
(Isn't this fun?)
My name is card

chek out the books
and films with me.
One wek to three

or bring wyth you
where you roam.
(I'm having fun.)
My name is Court
and ends wyth Nee
I work and toyl
in libraree.
Wen brake time comes
I did not cooke
In hungre shaym
I lik the book*.
