Hey Lamppost Whatcha Knowin'?

~Today we looked a the lyrics (words to a song) of the famous 1970 song, the 59th Bridge Street Song (Feelin' Groovy) by Simon and Garfunkel, then we compared the lyrics to the poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost and compared the mood, tone, and rhyming scheme of each. I was shocked that they actually liked the song and asked me to play it over and over. There is nothing the Apes don;t know about REAL poetry!
