Joe's CornPop Story Appears to be True

 
Joe Biden tells this fanciful tale of how he stood up to a razor-wielding gang member named "CornPop. Well, people ridicule him for lying, suggesting the story is all made up. Perhaps they shouldn't. He has witnesses who indicate the story is true. You shouldn't call him a liar if you have no more to go by than to say, That sounds too good to be true. 

To begin with, a newspaper obituary has been found for a William L. "CornPop" Morris. So, it appears such a guy really did exist. He died in 2016 at age 73. That lines up with Biden's story.

Second, folks who lived in Wilmington, Delaware, where it all took place -- people who were there -- are witnessing that it was true. Add to that that there's been someone who investigated it, and found evidence to substantiate it.

The story reflects well on Biden. If this is who the guy is, yes, we should like him. Here's a man of high morals and character. Why should we not want to elect such people?

CornPop

In the legend of Joe Biden
There's the story of CornPop
Joe took him on
CornPop was the bad guy
And Joe played the cop

Mean as nails
Tough as tar
CornPop took to doing whatever he wanted
No one could stop his car

Joe was a lifeguard
He told divers what to do
And you had to wear a baby cap
Or your diving time was through

"Get down off that board"
Joe shouted out
And while CornPop got off the board
You should hear what came about

Meet you outside
Outside the gate
CornPop challenged him
A fight would be the fate

CornPop had some buddies
Ready to bloody Joe
They were carrying straight razors
And the harm that those can do, you know

Joe had a buddy
The mechanic at the pool
He told Joe just what to do
And to keep his cool

The mechanic cut a piece of chain for him
Here, use this in your fight
Tell CornPop he just might cut you
But the chain will wrap around his neck so tight

So Joe walked out to meet him
Meet old CornPop
But he was wise enough to talk down that mean dude
Instead of calling him porkchop

Joe had called him Esther Williams
When CornPop was on the diving board
And so he apologized
In order to reach a peace accord

But I don't apologize for asking you to get off
From diving in the pool
And I'd have to do it again
'Cause, CornPop, that's just the rule

Well, CornPop said, You really mean that?
And put his straight razor away
And that is the story
Of how Joe saved the day
