Haughty taughty

Tis wonder if there’s ham over there, perhaps a quail, I’ll gobble it down tooth and nail, This gown is weighing me down, Turning my glorious smile into a frown How I wish for a servant or two or three, to place themselves under thy…

2 Whose woods these are

Whose woods these are I think I know or do I? I’ve always loved this poem. It’s the only one I remember from grade school years and can quote lines from even today though I found it on my own. They didn’t teach poetry at…
