Hollywood Squares

HOLLYWOOD SQUARES most wouldn’t find names interesting, but I would draw squares representing student desks. i loved looking at the baby book of names, my mother bought, in my thirteenth year. so i’d put a name to each of these squares, Hollywood would give their squares faces as would the children’s game Guess Who. Names were simple back in my day. Mary and Joseph, Nadine and Peter... Of course Hollywood had fun with names. One word - Cher, Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn. Today names are manipulated. They sound the same with just a tweak of letters. Like Kym, Davyd, and Naatlee. And Poetry Soup, you are much like that stew of names — our own game of Hollywood Squares. With questions, truth and lies, a variety of categories. We have our Phyllis Dillers, Paul Lyndes and even Vincent Prices. I swim in the sea of names, enjoy our friendship, our love for poetry. Like pen pals from around the world — we write. 5/25/2018 *Hollywood Squares - American Game Show *Guess Who - American Board Game for kids
