Bob Hope

Bob Hope
                                          Had a nose like a ski slope.
                                          He entertained with comedy
                                       To relieve military troops' anxiety.

Yes indeed. Many loved Bob Hope. He was a fine man and had a real burden for the military men and women. He did what he could to ease their minds for awhile. Great tribute to him. God Bless, JB
