Undesirable

I'm not desirable, apparently,
As patrons of the library now go,
At least compared to one woman I know.
Here she's conversing, right in front of me,
About some disks, computers, and a key,
With a librarian, whose records show
She owes an old fine. How much does she owe?
Two bucks. Thank heaven it was less than three!

Thank heaven, because it was never paid.
The poor librarian asked, Would she mind
Paying it? Her account's fallen behind.
I think her pocketbook had been mislaid,
Or some other mistake must have been made.
They also yell at me when I get fined.
