Before I tried it
The kisses I missed
But afterward -- Boy!
The misses I kissed

I remember! We used to drive (in a '37 Chevy, then a '51 Chevy) from MD to
KS every summer. When I was still in gradeschool, I kept a notebook on one
trip, of the Burma Shaves.

In '59, my brother and I counted all the new tail-finned cars. The Chevys
and Fords outnubered everything else, and the Chevys outnumbered the Fords
about 2 to 1. Can ya tell our Daddy was a statistician?
