Hi, Meekie:

---

Everyone picks on Alfred E, Neumann.
That really isn't right.
A Media magnate and Genius.
Who had the badly needed Insight.

To gather comedic writers,
Artists and scribes.
To pull young American Boys.
Through Pre and Post Pubescent strife.
To laugh at the foibles of our.
Parents, culture and our peers.

With Mort Drucker and "Clever Answers",
"Fold-In" back covers. Satires raunchy and rife.
"Spy vs. Spy" and "FROINDSCHLAPP!
Though first dates and pimples, will always endear.

Preparing countless lads for pitfalls of life.
To be experienced so much later.
While migrating to the 70's "National Lampoon".
And the 90's "American Spectator".

Jack.

LOL!

It's not just the American Boys who read "Mad".

LOL!

I was so amused at the recent soda ads with "Spy vs Spy".

Had to explain to my kid why I was laughing so hard...

haha!

"Spy vs spy" and "The shadow knows" were two of my favorites in Mad Magazine.
