JFK Improves With the Passing Decades
By Elton Camp
With all the praises being heaped today
Dare I speak negatively of Pres JFK?
For his legacy, death proved to be ideal
Making him a myth far removed from real
I was still a young man when he died
But well recall that some in joy cried
“Johnson is far better man than he!
It’ll be better now, wait and see.”
Very many didn’t want JFK to be in
His election victory was razor thin
An investigation many folks sought
Thinking that the election was bought
It was hard in Communist leaders to detect
For JFK more than a tiny bit of respect
Whispers of adultery were often heard
Although the media said not a word
There were even those who did say
That it was the Pope JFK would obey
His reelection prospects looked low
When to Dallas he decided to go
In a horrible flash he become a saint
Against him, was allowed no complaint
If Abraham Zapruder hadn’t been there
Would there have been such a care?
The foul murder endlessly replayed
Won’t allow the memory to fade
His adulation has continued to grow
Dare I ask how much of it is truly so?
