Today in a poetry class, a student was wearing a T-shirt with a picture of a frog that said, "I froget things. / It's okay. I'm cute." So I asked the students to tell me how they could interpret the text as a poem. They commented on a range ofissues, including the word play, the informal register, the relationship between the poem and the picture, and its punctuation as three sentences and how it would read differently as one sentence: "I froget things — / it's okay, I'm cute." Finally, the student wearing the shirt explained its background: his girlfriend gave it to him because he is forgetful — and loves frogs. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 8 October 2025)
