ON this date in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple were in the crowd that day.

Abe started with "Four score and 7 years ago..."

Bun turned to P and said, damn, a tad pretentious, don't you think?

Mr. P replied, Yep, hope it's short and pointed.

Bun Man said, It's Abe...short speech, short life, long remembered.

(When Presidents were People you could revere)
