Notes About The Poem

Image result for never memorize anything you can look up image

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.”

Isn't it true? If a girl asks me for my number, I'll have hard time recalling it! You cleared lots of air in my head! A nice one here.

Well well well..... nice to see somethings do not change Andrea. Atleast people that leave come on back and its a refreshing read. Maybe ' Scouse I miss you and a few. I've been reading now. No longer a writer after 15 years freelancing. It took alot of time from family time and all. Coming from the dead here girlie. Take care. Been reading the famous authors a lil.. never really did that much. Be sweet. Stay strong;)
