My dad used to recite a poem. I remember only a few words. Anybody gottem all? Here's what I recall: "I know a man whose task is humble. He merely teaches bees to bumble and setting hens to swim. So well he does his task appointed, folks keep passing double jointed complaints on him." Thanks anybody.

Welcome to the Mudcat, Jim. You might try searching the links at this site: CLICK HERE.

You will get a better response, next time, if you try to use some of the title or words that you know, in the title of your thread. Don't worry about it this time, but people are much more likely to open a thread if it catches their eye with some familiar name or phrase.

Hopefully someone will come in here and recognise your poem and we'll all get to learn it. It sounds like a good one.

Thanks and good luck,

kat

You are welcome, Fred. It's amazing what one can find on the 'Net, isn't it?
