Poem
President's Day is approaching so I thought I would further your education, By revealing useless trivia about some of the dudes who've served our nation. President Washington actually had to borrow money to get to his inauguration. He wore size 13 shoes and seldom took a bath much to Martha's indignation! Abe Lincoln agreed his wasn't the prettiest face when all was said and done! Once called 'two-faced' he said, "If I had two faces, do you think I'd wear this one?" James Buchanan was nearsighted in one eye and farsighted in the other, Causing him to lean his head to the left and close one eye, which was a bother! For his breakfast, Ulysses Grant loved cucumbers soaked in vinegar to eat! He probably saved his hide since he declined to join Abe in his theater suite! Woodrow Wilson was plagued with indigestion and was blind in one eye. He had a pet sheep named Old Ike that chewed tobacco and that ain't no lie! Cal Coolidge used a paucity of words so that many folks thought him dead! He liked his head rubbed with Vaseline while eating his breakfast in bed! Harry Truman kept a sign on this desk that read, "The Buck Stops Here!" Remembered will be his scorching letter to an editor defending Margaret's career! 'Tis well-known that Ronnie Reagan dearly loved Nancy and jelly beans, And was happiest at his ranch riding a horse and wearing old jeans! And finally, from Barack Obama we learned that there are fifty-seven states, And that he makes skillful use of a teleprompter to ensure there are no misstates! Th-th-thats all folks - more than you ever wanted to know about these chaps! (There's much more I could reveal but it best be kept under close wraps!) Robert L.
