Because Billy Collins makes me happy. (You need only combine the words "Billy" and "Collins" and I will smile stupidly.)
Because this little guy (whom I first discovered about four and a half years ago) makes me laugh every time I listen to him.
Because poetry is magic.

Yep, yep and yep! Thanks for this reminder of joy, Karen.
The look on his face when he turns to the camera and recites, "There is just no way you are the pine scented air..."
What on earth can be going on in his little mind as he recites these words? Do they have any real meaning to him? And when he is 15 and 30 and 60, how will these early memorizations impact his life...his view of life...
But Billy Collins...yes. Always happy-making!
Thanks for the smiles!
Very wonderful! I posted this little fellow along with a young conductor a while back. Have you seen the wee conductor? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0REJ-lCGiKU
Billy Collins always brings a smile to my face, but this little guy is priceless! Thanks for sharing!
Tabatha, that wee conductor is adorable. :)
And so happy to share the happiness with the rest of you, too.
