One of my favorite lines from an Irish poem is "We clambed the hill togither."

Would you remember the title of that poem? It sounds like something I might like to use on the invitations to our 40th Wedding Anniversary celebration.

It's a Robert Burn's poem, IG, entitled "John Anderson, My Jo".....Jo meaning sweetheart and hill being the hill of life.

A dear Irishman, visiting in our town, came to my class at my invitation and recited it in his Irish brogue.

All but one of my students were delighted....the one? A rude girl who put her head down on her desk. (If I'd had a 2 x 4 handy, I would have laid her in the aisle and taken the consequences. Needless to say, she felt my wrath in words later.)
