Imagine!

Vol. 1  Chap. 516

                         Imagine!

          A Wise Man Named John Lennon Said,

          "Imagine!"   That Stuck in My Head!

          Cuz That's What Smart Kids Do a Lot!

          I Imagined!   Here's What I Got:

          The Rev'rend Martin Luther King

          Made It His Mission, Improving
          The Civil Rights of Blacks and More!

          Imagine All That He Stood For!

          Doctor King Knew That to Drive Change

          He First Would Have to Re~Arrange

          The Way Protesters Marched and Fought!

          Non~Violence Was What He Taught!

          Imagine, Courageous Martin

          91, If the Assassin

          Had Missed!   Now Imagine This Man

          Was So Beloved, Each Time He Ran

          For President, He Won Each Race!

          I Imagine We'd All Embrace

          This Great Man as Our President!

          Imagine!   Like John Lennon Meant!

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
