"Billy, Billy, will you do,
Something that I want you to?"
"Yes, Ma. You know I like to do
Something that surprises you."
When you were little,
those words brought huge smiles!
You could recite the story word for word
as I read aloud.
I could stop before the end of a sentence;
you would finish it from memory.
You would start the next sentence from memory
before I could even begin.
To say this was your favorite book
would be an understatement.
To think you had a photographic memory
was only a thought.
Time flies, you're 20 now
and read on your own.
I'll just bet, though,
that you still remember Billy Brown!
