Poems   

E. E. Cummings

""maggie and millie and molly and may"

maggie and millie and molly and may
went down to the beach (to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

millie befriended a stranded star
who's rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea." — E. E. Cummings

John Lennon
"I am the Eggman, they are the Eggmen, I am the Walrus"

Along with Paul McCartney, who he met in a skiffle band in school, John Lennon went on to become one of the most profound and prolific songwriters, composers and performers in the history of music. Playing up to eight hours in small nightclubs early in their career, The Beatles broke out onto the world scene and forever changed the face of music, thanks in large part to the songwriting talent of Lennon and McCartney.
