Here's a little ditty I found last night stashed in some folder.

"When I was One-and-Twenty" by A.E. Housman

When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
'Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;

Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free.'
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.

When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
'The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;

'Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue.'
And I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.

So maybe its not the bestest poem ever, but its cute. Now, discuss amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic: Does this poem mean anything to you or is it just nostalgic emotional crap?
