I also cut it out and added it to my scrap book and probably still have it somewhere in my basement in a box but doubt that it is in any condition for saving. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the memory and the actual page. What a great photo of Johnny boy, huh?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16262256583535030622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386845.post-33535704393607783952010-08-21T01:04:33.972-04:002010-08-21T01:04:33.972-04:00Thank you!

My mother had clipped it out and saved it before I took it to a my school's poetry recital back around 1979. Naturally, the clipping got lost over time, and I've asked many Beatle experts and fans over the years where I might be able to find it again. Nobody had ever heard of it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386845.post-42317833262932881402010-06-29T17:30:13.222-04:002010-06-29T17:30:13.222-04:00I was around 9 years old when this poem was in McC...I was around 9 years old when this poem was in McCalls Magazine and I cut it out and put it in the windowsill and read it aloud when doing the dishes!

When I went to college, I left it home with all my books - which disappeared as things sometimes will when mothers clean out rooms of unimportant stuff. <BR/><BR/>Believe this or not, just today I said aloud the lines<BR/>"Unfair, unfair, the toys all said, Shoes and Hats have got no head, How can they vote, I ask you now, said the brown but friendly cow." I've used that quote throughout my life - thank you so much for returning the rest of the stanzas to me!jenthegypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366335535806760358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386845.post-50720870744648200602008-07-29T13:49:00.000-04:002008-07-29T13:49:00.000-04:00OMG!
