Nobody had suggestions for a list,

so I will have to decide for myself.

By the way, Real Salt Lake are the champions of Major League Soccer! Hoorah! Nick Rimando is the hero-man for the second week running!

How about...Poems I Have Memorized! I will write them out here and if I make mistakes the Gentle Reader (*cough*Val*cough*) can point them out, for the edification of all.

Boy, I hope I can come up with a full seven here.

Let's start with a classic:

"My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun", William Shakespeare

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red.
If snow be white, why then, her breasts are dun,
If hair be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks--
And in some perfume there is more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, but well I know
That music has a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress, when she walks, walks on the ground.

And yet, by heav'n, I think my love as fair
As any she belied by false compare.
