Hello World! I am so excited to reveal to you Part Two (the conclusion) of my original poem entitled “What Does Jell-O Have to do with Spies?” You see, the dramatic events that transpired in Part Two of this poem happened during the 1950’s right here in the good ole USA and are now are about to be exposed.

New characters have entered the distribution and promotion of the little boxes of Jell-O! And a few of the main characters are in the photograph below. Allow me to introduce you to the couple in the middle: They are Mr Julius and Mrs Ethel Rosenberg. And if you Google their names, you can read much more about this intriguing venture that eventually landed both Rosenbergs in the electric chair.

So, without further discord, let’s get to the conclusion of the poem.

Julius Rosenberg and Ethel Rosenberg during their 1951 trial for espionage.

"What Does Jell-O Have To Do With Spies"
            By S. L. Fowler
                  Part 2

Let us pick up our story where we left off
Discussing a popular dessert that had stolen America's heart
The owner, Mr Woodward, had made a wise investment in 1902
And those little boxes of Jell-O were being purchased by your parents, too.

Let's move ahead to 1950 and the FBI is now on the scene
They have arrested a man named Julius Rosenberg
A spy who is accused of some grave misdeeds
That have placed the United States in jeopardy.

Mr. Rosenberg purportedly tore a Jell-O box top in half
Gave it to his brother-in-law, whose name was David Greenglass
Instructed him to deliver it to a contact in Los Alamos
A Russian spy, named Harry Gold, who would have the matching
  piece of the torn note.

Gold paid Greenglass $500 to receive the secret atomic energy data
That allegedly gave the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union Nation
Rosenberg and Greenglass, both were caught red handed in this melee
As well as Ethel, Julius' wife, all three were executed in June 1953.

The last bit of information that I would like to impart to you
That in 2003, over 690,000 boxes of Jell-O were daily consumed by you
Yes, America loves those 16 flavors Bill Crosby hawked on TV
And the good news...not only is it delicious but you can buy it 'fat-free'.

                          THE END
