Just Say Yes -- Just Say No

In an era of celebrity
Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush 
First Ladies who chose progressivity --
  Nancy R. 'Just Said Yes' to sobriety
  Laura B. 'Just Said No' to illiteracy





          

              **True PROGRESS-ivity, that is: Saying NO to drugs & illiteracy

Gershon~ greetings! Think for a second. Celibacy has advantages. Like..not being 13 and pregnant, not getting AIDs. But I digress. Mind is going. I thought she said just sat no to drugs? Am I amiss? Doubt you were a fan of hers, lol Panagiota PS see what today's celebrities are doing. Oy! Literacy has advantages too..l Panagiota,

Oh, you are absolutely correct, Panagiota. Thank you so much for pointing this out. Nancy Reagan DID 'just say no' to drugs! Mea culpa! So, I have changed the title and rewritten the poem. Thanks for having my back on this one!! Best wishes, gw

Hi! … I got it wrong, so I rewrote the poem. Nancy Reagan 'just said No' to drugs. I retitled it too. My mistake. Sorry about that. :) gw
