I wonder what ever happened to that country I grew up in.

About Big Brother, he used to do the Pledge of Allegiance and play Hail To the Chief while showing a portrait of Ike on the wall. This is funny because, a few years back, I heard some celebrity, I can’t remember who, say they had the same problem with this that I had. He said that grew up believing Ike’s name was “Richard Stands”. LOL! “...and to the republic, for Richard Stands...” I thought I was the only one who goofed that one up.
Some of them date from the early to mid 1960s. I remember them all....
When I was in sixth grade a new kid from out of state, who left after a year, insisted that he had seen me on Boomtown, and that I was too embarrassed to admit it. In fact I would not have been embarrassed at all, the kid was just mistaken.
I saw Rex at the Marshfield Fair when I was about ten. He could actually do all that cowboy stuff — horse riding and rope tricks.
RIP.
Now, the grass is always greener
in the other fellows yard
The little row, we have to hoe
Oh boy that's hard
And if we all could wear
green glasses now
it wouldn't be so hard
To see how green the grass is in our
owwwwwnnnn
baaaaack
yard.
I wonder what ever happened to that country I grew up in.
