A RHYME TO REMEMBER!
I like poetry. It can be soothing and
relaxing. I've written a poem or two over
the years. But it's not likely any of my verses
will be long remembered. Others have\penned
poems that have become classics. Now and
then some have even been set to music. "Frank"
wrote a poem like that. And yet it wasn't
written under soothing or relaxing circumstances.
Quite the contrary! It was written during a war!
And yet is is well remembered and was, in fact
set to music. The poem was called "Defense of
Fort McHenry." "Frank" was Francis Scott Key.
And his poem, set to music, became "The Star
Spangled Banner!" He wrote it on this date in
1814! Hope you have a great day and that all
your NEWS is good!
