When I began teaching mathematics my students compared me -- to my delight -- with Carol Burnett. Recent thoughts of this amazing comedian have led me to Kevin Spacey's poem, "Carol" that he composed and read (imitating poet and actor Jimmy Stewart) to honor Burnett. I share with Jimmy Stewart the hometown of Indiana, PA and I reconnected with memories of Carol Burnett this past weekend via NPR's "Wait Wait . . . Don't Tell Me." Here is the text of Spacey's 14-line poem:
Carol Burnett is a wonderful gal
She always makes me laugh somehow
All she has to do is put on that silly grin
And I get this funny feeling all over my chin
