MEMORIZIN’ MO

Mo memorized the doctionary

But just can’t seem to find a job

Or anyone who wants to marry

Someone who memorized the dictionary

– Shel Silverstein

To me this poem means that just because you have memorized the dictionary doesn’t mean that you can get a job or get married. But to me Mo memorized the poem to get smarter to see if that would help him get a job and get married. This is really the first time I have heard of Shel Silverstein and the first poem I have read from her, but I think they are really goofy and weird that’s why I like them.
