famous quotes

as a child in elementary school
the assignment
was to write down
something President Kennedy
had said. a famous quote.
most of the children
wrote down, ask not what
your country can do for you,
etc.
but I wondered if there were
times when he
also said things like,
we're out of milk, or
who's been drinking my scotch?
did you see the legs
on that woman?
set up a meeting?
the teacher was not amused,
which affected our relationship
for the entire fifth grade.
