This is wonderful! It's great to see Berton Braley getting some modern attention. I've been a huge fan of his poetry for decades. My wife and I even worked some of his lines into our wedding ceremony.

The last picture needed to be Elon and Trump. IMHO.

It wouldn't have suited the story I was telling with the pictures, though. The young man who comes out with a family who love him is the winner, hands down every time.

Oh, I know. I guess I feel like it needs an "As it was in the Beginning, 'tis now and ever shall be...." closing. Rust (and Commies) never sleep....
