To marilynnbyerly from yesterday’s comments – about memorizing a poem in school – When I was in first grade, we had to memorize the poem “The Owl and the Pussycat” To this day, I can still recite most of it. Oddly enough, I had to memorize a poem (of my own choice) in 8th grade and I memorized one called “Mr. Nobody” (I wonder why I didn’t take the easy way out by reciting “The Owl and the Pussycat”?) and I can barely remember any of that poem at all.
