How much I miss Walt Kelly, Pogo and the gang!

My parents loved them too and I grew up reading those comics. Great commentary.

Long live Boston Charlie!

It has a reference to what I used to do for a living before a retired.

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I just got back on line

I learned this from Pogo 60 years ago and have sung it every Christmas since:

Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
Walla Walla, Wash, and Kalamazoo.
Nora's freezin' on the trolley,
Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo.

Don't we know archaic barrel
Lullaby Lilla Boy, Louisville Lou.
Trolley Molly don't love Harold,
Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo.
