FDR must have plagiarized him…..

Nero’s were more like fireside concerts.

I’m sure your answer will be thoroughly investigated by Nero Wolfe.

He didn’t chat by the fire, he fiddled while Rome burned.

I thought Nero’s reputation was being rehabilitated. . .like King George’s. . .

Oh fiddle.

Most kids today wouldn’t know who FDR or Nero are

good one …

Nero may have taken the blame for that particular burning of Rome but it was more likely a real-estate cartel that burned it down for redevelopment. I wish I were kidding but this was a fairly common practice to drive people out of a neighborhood. Probably a local “eviction” got out of control.

I’d give you credit for that answer…….

It was so funny, gag me with a spoon!

Perhaps the teacher will give him a couple of points for creativity.

I remember televised “fireside chats” between JFK and Edward R. Morrow.

Also, those were the same kind of desks we had when I was in elementary school.
