I remember memorizing this in 5th grade.

We used to giggle when saying “Middlesex”, because we knew there wasn’t any “middle-sex”...you were either a BOY or a GIRL!

This is the absolute truth. I remember having the discussion with my friends!

Out of the mouth of babes. ;)

Yeah, I remember having to try and memorize the darn thing. Never got past three stanzas. (Although I still remember the first one after fifty some years.)

Only one girl in a class of sixty kids memorized the whole thing. For her reward, she had to go from classroom to classroom reciting the poem.

Saying that NOW, will get a child thrown into a re-education indoctrination camp.

Laugh-out-loud funny!

Here’s to those more innocent times!

Today, you’d be sent to a *re-education diversity* camp.
