I wonder
if

you know

I know

You know

Where you dig your hole?

I used it when I taught first grade children; I had a great lesson plan for the third day to read it, but a very talented six-year-old asked on the first day, “Why does it repeat?” I was flabbergasted, but acknowledged his insight and went on with the lessons — day one AND three! I was fortunate enough to teach this boy again in third and fourth grades, and recommended him for the gifted program, and I continued to read this poem with my children.
