I'm not very good at remembering the poems that I read though, so this is the only complete poem that I can share right now:<BR/><BR/>V fly the geese.<BR/>Who me? said a goose<BR/>It's no use<BR/>for a goose.<BR/>You must have three<BR/>to fly a V!<BR/><BR/>And I'm sure I messed that up. I memorized it in 2nd grade--- I don't even know who to credit. But it's the one poem I remember.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad there are people in the world who can write such wonderful poetry.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330252661986641984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22019770.post-1145669483419644802006-04-21T20:31:00.000-05:002006-04-21T20:31:00.000-05:00I can certainly picture the scenes, at the curb an...I can certainly picture the scenes, at the curb and in the restaurant, and my son's hair is well past receding--what is left of it he shaves off--and I know the feeling of wanting to reach out and grab his hand to help him cross the street. And I must refrain. Thanks for sharing the poem. I think it has become my favorite.
