Poetry Corner: Longfellow!

There was a little girl, who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good, she was very good indeed,

But when she was bad she was horrid.

-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


It occurs to me that the curl in the middle of Mai's forehead isn't usually visible, but there's no denying that she has very curly hair!



The book is going slowly right now: the words are tumbling around as if in a bingo-cage, waiting to drop out on the page one at a time. Sometimes they all come at once, and other times nothing comes out at all.
