Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme (circa 1725)
Pretty good one, Mother Goose – your rhymes reflected your times.
As for Father Goose, that rascal, what might he write in 2017?
Little Jack Kelly
Sat watching telly
Eating his fish and chips;
He answered his phone
Because he was home
Then said with a groan,
“I’m it.”
Best wishes to General Kelly in his new role as Chief of Staff. One week and counting.
Stay tuned, sports fans.
