The Life of a High School Student

Saturday, March 24, 2007

Reflecting back on my childhood brings back many memories. One of these memories is a rhyme that I had to practice a simple little piano song to a bunch of times. It is, "How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" I always wondered who was the stupid person that would even ask such a question. I mean, does any even know what a woodchuck looks like? I've always thought it to look like a beaver. That assumption could be very wrong. If people really wanted to educate young minds as they were painstakingly having to practice a eight measure song over and over about a woodchuck, you would think they would have the courtesy of at least putting a picture of one in the book also. Also, wouldn't a woodchuck be able to chuck wood? If not, why would they call it? If it chucked something else, like it's dinner, then why not call it the dinnerchuck or berrychuck? Maybe it's just me, but usually people name things for a reason. Also, why would a 6-year old being forced to learn to play piano want to know how much wood a woodchuck could chuck? All they care about is finishing their 15 minutes of practicing so that they can go play outside. Anyway, maybe this is a question that no one will ever know the answer too, except for that stupid guy who thought of the question in the first place.
