This next poem is--

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:05.760 align:middle line:90%
the title is a quote.

00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:08.010 align:middle line:90%
It's "What will she go as?"

00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:10.980 align:middle line:90%


00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:13.380 align:middle line:84%
It was not lost on
anyone that the baby was

00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:16.170 align:middle line:90%
due to be born near Halloween.

00:00:16.170 --> 00:00:18.870 align:middle line:90%
What will she go as?

00:00:18.870 --> 00:00:21.330 align:middle line:84%
We made a list of
iconic infants:

00:00:21.330 --> 00:00:25.980 align:middle line:84%
Moses in the rushes,
manger Jesus, baby Jessica

00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:30.000 align:middle line:84%
slipped down a well in 87
and rescued on live TV.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.040 align:middle line:84%
Some people credit
the Gulf War Scud

00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:33.870 align:middle line:84%
with commencing the
age of cable news,

00:00:33.870 --> 00:00:37.440 align:middle line:84%
but it was baby
Jessica, no contest.

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:41.430 align:middle line:84%
Even so, I prefer
the Lindbergh baby.

00:00:41.430 --> 00:00:43.800 align:middle line:84%
Both parents could
dress as Lindbergh,

00:00:43.800 --> 00:00:45.780 align:middle line:84%
matching leather
jackets and flap

00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:49.140 align:middle line:84%
hats with appended
glasses, bomber brown.

00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:51.600 align:middle line:84%
This costume works the
best if the baby is nowhere

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.450 align:middle line:90%
to be found.

00:00:53.450 --> 00:00:57.000 align:middle line:90%
