"the universe, which others call the library"
        --Jorge Luis Borges
 
A mountain of intellect fills his cabeza
Oh, Zapopan Martin Muela Meza!
Our Fulbright Scholar from South of the Border
A vanguard rogue with wit made to order
So witty, so smart, so egalitarian
Nobody could ask for a better librarian
With a smile and laugh more jolly than Kris Kringle… Uh?
(Forgive me… I was looking for something that rhymed with bilingual)
Our classes and meetings were graced by his presence
Graced with his spirit and wild effervescence
His achievements deserving the highest ovation
Were the papers he wrote about reference information
The pursuit of all knowledge, all things academic
To him are the keystones of peace that's pandemic
We offer him chicken wings, he offers us burritos
Oh, we will never forget "Our Little Zapopanito"
Oh Zapopan, Zapopan!
We could never get enough!
Let's all drink a toast to him
When we go out to Duff's!
