There once was a guy named Bob.

When his family emigrated from England, they settled into my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio.

He was a comedian, vaudevillian, actor, singer and author.  

He did 57 tours with the USO for the troops.

He hosted the Oscars 18 times.

They used to say he had a ski nose.

He was an avid golfer.   

He had a career for over 60 years. 

If you still don’t know who he is think of “Thanks for the Memories.”  If you’re too young to remember, look Bob up on YouTube and you can hear him singing it.

“I’m here to help you.”

“What can you do?”

“Get you off these streets.”

“My friend wouldn’t like that.  It would cause trouble for you.”

“I’m used to trouble.  What’s your name?”

“Kitty.”

“My name is Myra.  Would you please let me help you?”

“Why would you want to do that?”

“I was where you are a long time ago.  I promised if I got out, I would help other women.”

“Oh, so you’re one of those” Kitty said rolling her eyes.

Myra smiled.  “Yes, I’m one of those.”

“Okay, I’ll come but I hope you know what you’re doing.”
