Woody Woodpecker
and Lucy and Bette
To name a few
Howdy Doody on strings
and Flippo the Clown
With his oversized shoes
Scully and Carol Burnette
Could outshine
Carrot Top at his best
Prince Harry, the Lady Sarah
And the Beasleys from HP
And our country lady Reba
Shining in song and on TV
Opie as a kid in Mayberry
Ron the director as an adult
Gingers both young and old
One of my favorites was
A comedian I loved
Red Skelton
With his gentle wit and kind soul
And love for country shared oft
Through the Pledge of Allegiance

Velvet Verbosity challenged us with the word REDHEAD this week. I have many fond memories of tv as a kid . . . we watched it at my dad’s mom’s house. Later when I was 12 or 13 Mom and my sister and I got our first tv and we loved watching Carol Burnette, I Love Lucy, but especially Red Skelton. I hope you will listen to his words on the Pledge of Allegiance. Blesses my heart each time I do.
When you think about it, there have been some spectacular redhead s throughout history. Skelton and Ball were two of the funniest comedians, ever… true humor and not any of that crud that’s out there now. Dang, I sound old.
