Yes and I even copied the poem to try and memorize it. Abu Taubah is one of the most outstanding teachers of our time even if he was a Marine. (Little joke between military branches: Army- ain't ready for Marines Yet ) I was actually recruited into the Army while waiting for a Marine Recruit to show up. I am sure the Army Recruiter bragged for a long time how he hooked the fish in the Marine Corp Office and reeled him into the Army.
