Little round lens
Who enlarges and elongates fine print
Who reveals hidden scripts and hints
And enhances the sight of the beholder
How scholarly you look, sitting atop a desk
An object of sophistication and intellect
A novelty and oddment of past times
You still dazzle in modern day
Enhancing the aesthetic of any study or library you grace
You not only aggrandize text and clarify grainy parchment
You bestow worth and grandeur on those who wield you
For a petite, dainty looking glass
You, my friend, warrant high praise
