Could this be it?  I saved it when it appeared in 2000.  I do hope it
helps make life a little brighter.

Subject: Time for a break . . .

. . . and a smile.  I was given this by a coworker in library school.  It
was included in her textbook, Developing Library and Information Center
Collections, in, of course, the chapter on serials.

        The publisher is my tormentor.  I shall not smile:
        He maketh me to work all day at my desk.
        He leadeth me astray with misnumbered issues:
        His Roman numerals confoundeth me:
        He changeth titles over and over for His own sake.
        Yea, when I walk through the shadow of missing or irregular
             issues, I can find no respite, for He has moved.
        He answereth not my letters, nor useth the correct mailing label;
        He starteth not when I ask and quiteth before it is time;
        My work never endeth.
        Rising prices and duplicate issues shall follow me all the days of
my life
        And I shall moan and groan in the library forever.

Carol,

Where can I find the Serials Librarian's Psalm?  We are working on
entering our last two hundred titles into DRA--all problems, of course--
and pulling our hair out.  Any humor at this point would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks,
