Readers make meaning (Louise Rosenblatt) from the text. However, they need to know how to negotiate the text FOR meaning.

"Brevity gets right to the point doesn't dawdle, dicker, or delay always short and sweet whenever there is something to do or say brevity comes in handy when you are subject to a chewing out a bout of the flu a pain in the neck or waiting in line for the loo in fact, this poem has gone on so long that its recital would no longer qualify as an example of its title"

There are many ways to describe Ms. Underdorf. She was brilliant and joyous, and she believed-probably
correctly-that libraries contain the answers to everything, and that if you can’t find the information you seek in the library, then such information probably does not exist in this or any other parallel universe now or ever to be known.
She was thoughtful and kind and always believed the best of
everybody. She was, above all else, a master librarian and knew where to find any book on any subject in the shortest possible time.
And she was wonderfully unhinged… And so the Amazing Armadillo.
