Sorry, Basil — you beat me to it. LOL.
LOL! We were required to memorize that poem in the 7th grade. I graduated from high school in 1955. Do the math and you will see how long that poem has stuck with me.
I can still recite all the verses. I think if you live your life with the philosophy of that poem, that you will live a better life.
BTW—I can remember all of the poem—but I’m not sure what I had for breakfast this morning...........
