Write your comment about What Is Good poem by John Boyle O'reilly
Robbi: I remember learning this poem while in elementary school and haven't really thought about it in years, but in the middle of last night I woke up and couldn't get it out of my head so had to check Google to see if I could find it.
I must say 75 years later it is still my favourite!
nathan: its good
