[Thank You Rush]

Never thought about the role of trees in the Bible but definitely there - thanks.

Never knew Joyce Kilmer was killed in the war.. I do remember “Trees” and memorizing that but also:

I’ve never seen a purple cow
I never hope to see one
But this I’ll tell you anyhow
I’d rather see than be one

I don’t think we had to memorize that but we did - 1st grade as I recall before Pearl Harbor....We thought that was funny.

We memorized most of Paul Revere’s Ride also..but later on.

I remember memorizing the whole Prelude to “Evangline” (Longfellow) in the seventh grade, but had no idea that the poem was about the Acadian Diaspora. (The French-Speaking Folks of Eastern Canada were forced out by the English, and many of them WALKED to French-Speaking New Orleans).

If I had understood who the poem was about back in the day, I would have appreciated it more, since these were my own ancestors.

I also knew “The Purple Cow”! :-)
