And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, lost his hand, lost his bride; Johnny has his hand, Johnny has his bride!
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, where the shadows lie, One Tim to rule them all, One Tim to find them, One Tim to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, blew up the Death Star.

Stop bringing your non-service dogs into the library.
