My first introduction to poetry in the 6th grade.

Old Man of the Sea There was an old man of the sea who fought with a tiny bee They put up a fight Until it turned night He soon had to flee For the bump on his knee He has lost his fight soon making a flight As he returned to the sea Carolee Dennis-Woosley 1967 Our instructer gave us "Old man of the Sea" to practice for our first limerick I will never forget this. Do any others have such memories?

When I was a young girl we were encouraged to read all the great poets, our teacher often read to us in class. We girls enjoyed it, but the boys seemed bored!
