FREEDOM!  Since suddenly getting old, my mind has been invaded by lines of old jingles.  Today I recalled hearing Jane Sapp sing the above mentioned song at an education gathering at Ohio University.  I even recorded it for ACTV.

Then I recalled the nursery rhyme allusion in Ruth Reilly’s poem (2022 Torch Song, my post yesterday).  The connection with freedom?  A winning jingle for the coming election….

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe                                                                                            She had so many children she didn’t know what to do….  

                                             So  SHE VOTED DEMOCRAT!

Thanks to Ruth!
