The Day The King Of Camelot Died Poem by Joe Rosochacki

48 years ago today
King of Camelot died
His face blown apart as we later learn
By the way
We could not get to the bottom of the truth
We had tried and tried and tried
Single bullet smacks of big cover-up
Jack 'Ruby' Rubenstein,
Killing Oswald of the aftermath,
Told a fable that he killed Lee for the sake of this country,
And to spare the grieving widow, Jackie.
I was in 4th grade, at Q of A
When I heard the news
Decked out in my clip on tie
It was Navy blue
Now 2 score+ years
I remember King of Camelot visiting Hamtramck back in 1960
With my mom, he was in a motorcade
Going down on Joseph Campau
'He is a Catholic', my mom, a fine Polish -American Catholic, would say.
Maybe that's the reason why he met his fate
The Rev. Billy Graham,
I found out later, was against him
The chances of finding King of Camelot's killers are infinitely slim,
Not one word was mentioned about him yesterday
King of Camelot did not get into yesterday's headlines
History can't remember dates of last the last century,
(We read about 'Snooky')
Pearl Harbor, the first nukes that were used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
The Great Depression, - oh no that was brought up in 2008,
My bad,
In any event history will not be remembered as history-
