a short poem to memorize

i bet most adults now won’t be able to recite a single poem that they used to know by heart when they were in elementary school. it has been my goal to memorize a short, interesting poem that is easy to remember and i think i found one today that is worth sharing…

I’M NOBODY! WHO ARE YOU?
emily dickinson

i’m nobody! who are you?
are you nobody, too?
then there’s a pair of us – don’t tell!
they’d banish us, you know.

how dreary to be somebody!
how public, like a frog
to tell your name the livelong day
to an admiring bog!

whew, that’s easy. hope i won’t forget.
