Thus the "joke" prayer, G-d, grant me the senility to forget the people i never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones i do, and the eyesight to tell the difference!messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-52795895355881016722016-10-18T19:36:21.196+01:002016-10-18T19:36:21.196+01:00I think I still remember the name of that mytholog...I think I still remember the name of that mythological river; but when it comes to reciting long poems by heart, I've never been much good at that.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-33448498060219586142016-10-18T17:59:34.487+01:002016-10-18T17:59:34.487+01:00Billy Collins and I share birthdays - although min...Billy Collins and I share birthdays - although mine happened a few years later (in 1968) :-)<br />Although I won't be in my sixties for another 11 years, I am no stranger to forgetfulness.
