Foolish comments to believe got back to you. There really is no need for this reports that you've said Certain things did get back to me And I'll confess to being momentarily Surprised since they are no way reflected what I understood to be the spirit of our meeting But in this job, I've learned as I'm sure you have to Not to take things too seriously people say things for all sorts of reasons
Which get misquoted or misunderstood before you know it those words are turned into something quite different And everyone's upset or up in arms I'm quite sure that you meant no harm nor disrespect after all why would you? We barely know one another still it was inexcusable so I can't offer an excuse but If you'll allow me I'd like to offer an explanation

Would be an understatement So when we got to Paris Why don't mind telling you I took some pleasure and shining there and then At the Elise Palace, I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris
Jack didn't appreciate being upstaged. I'm close doors. I can imagine. There are other factors too Our doctor Dr. Jacobson routinely administers us his cocktails before major trips
Vitamins, but other substances to help us up almost down the occasion of that dinner. He had given me something a little booster I told him I needed cheering up
But I guess it lucid my top and then I heard some of these terrible things got back to you I can't tell you how much distress it's caused me The idea that I might have Upset someone I admire so much That's very kind of you to say It's true The way you do your job
