Said Orville Wright to Wilbur Wright, "These birds are very trying. I'm sick of hearing them 'cheep, cheep' about the fun of flying. A bird has feathers, it is true, that much I freely grant But must that stop us, W?" Said Wilbur Wright, "It shan't."
Hmmm. I memorized that poem in second grade. Funny that it's still stuck in my head.

I get confused. There was Orville and Wilbur. Which one was the talking horse and which one sold popcorn?
