The Charge Up San Juan Hill

Teddy Roosevelt carried a big stick Walking softly 'till he had to move quick He charged up San Juan Hill Thinking, 'Who'll foot the bill?' He made it into a Hollywood flick

LOL Very clever, Gershon. Teddy used to "walk softly" when carrying the big stick. Today it feels like we're swinging that stick all over the place. As for a Hollywood flick, perhaps "Wag the Dog" needs a remake. Enjoyed!! Hugs, Carolyn

'Wag the Dog,' eh?! Hadn't thought of that one! Thanks, Carolyn! Warm wishes, Gershon
