REMEMBERING '96

1996 - A YEAR FOR REFLECTION.
SUCH A CURIOUS CONFECTION.
GEORGE BURNS WAS ENDING A CENTURY CONNECTION.
ERMA BOMBECK LAST HELPED US WITH LIFE'S PETTY REJECTION.
MICHAEL JORDAN WAS HOOPS PERFECTION
AS YOUNG TIGER WOODS EMERGED IN EVERY SPORTS SECTION.
THE BROWNS HEADED IN A BALTIMORE DIRECTION.
TED KACZYNSKI NO LONGER AVOIDED DETECTION.
LOSS OF YOUNG JON BENET CAUSED SUCH CIRCUMSPECTION.
CARL SAGAN WAS ADDED TO THE STARS COLLECTION.
LYLE AND ERIK PAID FOR PARENTAL DISCONNECTION,
WHILE O.J. CREATED NATIONAL DISSECTION.
TIMOTHY LEARY TURNED ON TO THE FINAL INTROSPECTION.
ELLA FITZGERALD DEPARTED BUT LEFT SO MUCH MUSICAL AFFECTION.
PRINCE CHARLES AND LADY DIANA REVEALED EVEN ROYAL IMPERFECTION,
WHILE JFK, JR. AND CAROLYN COULD NOT AVOID PAPARAZZI INSPECTION.
TUPAC SUFFERED THE ULTIMATE INSURRECTION.
ROSS PEROT AGAIN CHANGED THE POLITICAL COMPLEXION.
MY FONDEST RECOLLECTION -
IT WAS THE YEAR OF THE LAST HONEST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION!
