Dick Korn told me that Alan Watts
Gave and gave and gave until his light was spent.
A protege of Admiral Stockdale
Told me how busy he was at the Hoover Institution
And deflected my hope of an intrusive meeting.
This is as close to a story as we will come
Considering they both are dead
Which is not a rumor.
