Air Head

Don’t memorize things, Einstein said,

if it’s easy to look up instead!

I’ve got taped to my cell

what I still don’t know well:

My own number! Why clutter my head?


This is a true story. From the quote below, I’d say Einstein’s “got my number!”

“Never memorize something that you can look up.”
