What was President J.F. Kennedy's favorite poem?

Answer 1

The twist by chubby checker, and Hail to the Chief were known to be two of his favorites. One song in the musical Camelot was also one of his favorites. Jackie quoted 'Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot".

There'll never be another Camelot again.

Answer 2

My elephant thinks I'm wonderful. My elephant thinks I'm cool. My elephant hangs around with me and follows me into school. My elephant likes the way I look. He thinks that I'm fun and smart. He thinks that I'm kind and generous and have a terrific heart. My elephant thinks I'm brave and bold. He's proud of my strength and guts. But mostly he likes the way I smell. My elephant thinks I'm nuts.

Kenn Nesbitt

Answer 3

One of the favorite poems the late President J.F. Kennedy would get his wife Jacquelin to recite was:

"I Have a Rendezvous with Death"

by Alan Seeger.

I have a rendezvous with Death

At some disputed barricade,

When Spring comes back with rustling shade

And apple-blossoms fill the air-

I have a rendezvous with Death

When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

It may be he shall take my hand

And lead me into his dark land

And close my eyes and quench my breath-

It may be I shall pass him still.

I have a rendezvous with Death

On some scarred slope of battered hill,

When Spring comes round again this year

And the first meadow-flowers appear.

God knows 'twere better to be deep

Pillowed in silk and scented down,

Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,

Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,

Where hushed awakenings are dear...

But I've a rendezvous with Death

At midnight in some flaming town,

When Spring trips north again this year,

And I to my pledged word am true,

I shall not fail that rendezvous.
