The Hummer

Humbly I beseech thee
No humming in the library

Hmm? I can’t hear you.
Nor do I want to.

Thumbing your nose 
Will get you thumped out of this repository of prose

Hmmph I say
Again I say nay
I will hum all day

This is for a dVerse prompt: Ho-hum, it’s time to poem! Pen us a poem of precisely 44 words (not counting the title), literally including some form of the word hum. I hope you enjoy! 😊
