The First Storm and Other Misadventures
By David R. Zukerman, NYC and Winsted
Frist’s Bill
(He used to send one, now he writes one.)
The career of Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist
Suggests the following epigrammatic twist:
Leaving heart surgery to become a political force,
He chose not to put the heart before the course.
Just Wondering …
Herewith is posed a hypothetical
Speculation about a typothetical:
What if the senator’s real first name was Storm,
But somehow it got misspelled "Strom" on a form?
And here is a thought that may be the worst:
Could the Frist family name
Have been misspelled from "First"?
And now, just to indicate that I have indeed become a hopeless cause, I ask you to consider the following: The new movie Catch Me If You Can has brought up the name of a Kitty Carlisle Hart, widow of the playwright and author Moss Hart. If Leonard DiCaprio, one of the stars of the movie, gets interested in doing a play about Moss but has to choose between the play and a movie about the Gulf War, will he be caught between Iraq and a Hart play?
