Volume Twenty Four Page Seventy Two

Volume 24, page 72, third line down.
The girl gave him a stare but he did not notice.
He was the memorizer.
Memorizing pages as fast as he could.
Occasionally his glasses fell down his nose.
Another child came over.
Before she could ask he said
Volume 4 page 3, second line from the top.
Now I better understood why he was irreplaceable.

Now I wonder what he was reading and what the children learned when they read.

Time for your own poem explaining it, right Kim?
