A RHYME TO REMEMBER!

          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!
