My husband and I watch a show
Which
was aired quite a long time ago –
In
1955;
(Were
you even alive?)
Think
of all that those folks didn’t know!
For
a panel of four had to guess
Occupations,
so they would address
Guests
with questions for clues
About
topics they’d choose
To
be answered with “No” or with “Yes.”
Certain
jobs were exotic back then,
Like
“psychiatrist” (strictly for men)
Or
a skunk-breeding guy
Or
a worm raiser (why?)
Which
led up to the big moment when…
It
was time for the mystery guest,
Who
would leave everybody impressed;
So
the panel was masked
For,
of course, they were tasked
With
a name-that-celebrity quest.
In
the days before Google and such,
Which
today is a much-needed crutch,
Simple
games could be played
And
intelligence weighed
In
a manner with which we’ve lost touch.
