Ode To Tricky Dick Nixon

When they said Nixon's name, my wife would mew
"Please don't vote for him in '72." ---
  I said, "Think what we'd miss."
  Before telling her this ---
"Why switch Dicks in the middle of a screw?"

Ha, ha! --Who's teasing? My wife and I were serious, idealistic young...fools! LOL … Actually, just like you can't tease Trump without a volcanic reaction, with Nixon there was almost no reaction. He was so stiff, so wooden. They say he was born with a suit on...

"No further comments," as Mr. Nixon himself used to say. Best wishes, Gershon
