I had no idea what aconite might be so I looked it up. I love the little poem and the picture of the flowers I found:

Poor little chap, I once thought i would love to be an actor. Something happened I lost confidence. I wish I could remember what it was. There goes another famous actor.
We had to learn The aconite the first of all
She is so very ,very small
She wears a bib all frilled with green
around her neck to keep her clean
of all the flowers that I have seen
The Aconite must be the queen.
Yes I have probably made the grotty bit up, I had stage fright.

That is a really neat story. I do not believe that I could have recovered had the words left me like that to the poem.

Fabulous story. I remember my mother quoting that poem on Arbor Day (I imagine) as a child. She could quote long passages of poetry.

What a beautiful story to hold close to yourself and remember with love and pride. Not sure what or if will plant this year. We have wild pines springing up where we no longer mow and they are growing so well. maybe I'll leave the rest to nature to fill in

Cool story! Stagefright is petrifying, and it's wonderful that he
successfully worked through it. Happy Arbor Day!

What an experience! A fabulous outcome that may well have helped him later in life! And I wish he'd write more of his own poetry...
