People I'D Like To Speak To - Now! Poem by Joe Hughes

To Jesus I would ask,
Are you truly the Son of God?
Did you really work those miracles,
Are the Gospels your real Word?

With John Kennedy I'd relax,
Tell a joke, have a beer.
Tell him of the Oswald problem,
See him smile, shed a tear?

I'd sing 'My Way' with Sinatra,
King of cool, big band sound.
I'd ask him of his final hours -
Wih no Brat Pack to be found.

John Lennon mightn't speak to me,
Too intelligent perchance,
When I'd tell him of the world at war
Would he say 'Give peace a chance'?

If I could speak with Hitler,
Confront him killing six million Jews,
Would he be a holocaust denier,
Like David Irving with his crew?

There are many I would speak to now,
But charity begins at home,
So first I'll make up with my wife -
Leave those famous names alone!
