昨日跟一位同事說起小時候的課外活動，忽然討論起香港填鴨教育:背書，之後提及強迫性閱讀小說、著名文學、童謠…隨即想起當小學生時，那些有淚有汗的背書經歷…

Hickory Dickory Dock

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down!
Hickory Dickory Dock.

A Wise Old Owl

A wise old owl sat in an oak,
The more he heard, the less he spoke;
The less he spoke, the more he heard;
Why aren’t we all like that wise old bird?

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty dumpty had a great fall;
Threescore men and threescore more,
Could not place Humpty as he was before.

其實，背書都不是完全沒有好處？起碼，羊咩到現在仍然可以好好背出幾首童謠。嘻嘻！
