' P Ours will be the age of longer shorts and shorter Cadillacs. It will be the age of reason looking back on the rock and roll as crazy. It will be the age of satellites and spinning moons. Go Man! Go! We will find Tom Siroky on the moon. Viewed by television, he will have landed amidst a clash of gears and screaming electronic warning horns. Help! Help man! - and his swan song will run on. Ed Landa will run up and down his mansion on a trainevator, counting the ties. President of the United States, he will feel a little lightheaded in his mansion reaching above the clouds. Bob Olsen will be happily married. Living in the State of Texas, he will own five hundred oil wells, eleven cars - and as many children. Frank Siroky will own three fourths of Montana and will have sawed the other fourth into Jewelry. Whole mountains of rock will have disappeared into his tumbling machine. Billie McNulty will live in the Hawaiian Islands, married to a man so tall that she will only be kissed on the forehead. She will spend her time throwing coconuts. Wanda Emery will marry a doctor who will head Los Angeles' largest hospital. Under ideal conditions she will have twenty seven children and hope for an even three dozen. Jim Murphy will become the world's greatest snake hunter. He will walk the Missouri River banks equipped with a cane and a periscope to see over yon hills, shouting Thar's one! Thar's another! Shirley Ward will be married to a mighty Footballer by the name of Wayback. He will play left field in a game of Tiddlewinks against the Yanks. Many papooses will run around their wigwam.
