Yeah, Ted, the timing is really tight, either one, the poem or the song, could have been first. I wish we could find the originals of the song and the poem, but I don't think the Library of Congress has everything indexed. This will be an interesting puzzle to sort out. I think it's time to call in our nostalgic song big guns, Dale and Gene. I'll send 'em messages.
Or maybe there's a Washingtonian who'd like to check the Library of Congress????
