Poetry Wednesday--Billy Collins

For Poetry Wednesday this week, we are featuring Billy Collins' poem, Forgetfulness.   The older I get, the more I identify with this poem.

    I identify with this poem too! When he talks about the planets I couldn't help but think, "Yeah, and it doesn't help when 'they' keep changing what we memorized." In my mind Pluto will always be a planet. And when I do simple Math I will "carry" and "borrow" not "regroup," ; )

    Exactly!! I remember my grandmother saying "Nought and nought is nought" when she was helping me with my math, and I thought, "What's 'nought'!?!"
