A game show from the 60’s
Filmed, of course, in black and white,
Is something we’ve been watching,
Though its relevance is slight.

Contestants all pretend to have
A job that sounds real cool,
But two are just imposters
And the panel they must fool.

But two are just imposters
And the panel they must fool.
The panelists (all four of them)
Are famous in the arts
And get to ask some questions
Showing off their charm and smarts.

The answers to their queries
Help them guess who’s telling lies
And when the “real” contestant stands,
It’s always a surprise.

The setup is so innocent,
Back from another age,
When something oh-so-simple
Was enough to thus engage.

A little trip into the past
Reminds us how things were
With many aspects of that life
I really do prefer.
