What I Believed

As early as 1956, I believed I saw the President of the United States on TV.

I found out I was wrong. The man I saw was introducing Adlai Stevenson,

Demorcratoc candidate for president. The man who did

the introduction was thenVice-Presedentail candidate: John F. Kennedy.

On to more spectacular things I believed:

That George Reeves could really fly.

That Curly always did get poked in the eyes.

That Larry grew his hair back magically.

That the Lone Ranger had a thing for Tonto.

That the JFK and Marilyn Monroe deaths

were a government conspiracy, and still believe that to this day.

Snoopy could really fly a plane.

That real Beetles sang “I Want To Hold Your Hand.”

That Lassie was a boy dog.

That M & M’s stood for Mickey & Minnie (Mouse).

Lastly, that all men are created equal.

Were that the case, we would all look the same.
