Abraham Lincoln, the president, Awe-inspiring American gent. Lead the American Civil war Abolishing slavery no more. Abraham Lincoln, the president, Scraggly and tall, cheeks each flaccid dent. Laughing, jokes were told of people’s flaws. Jokester, mocked how ugly he was. Abraham Lincoln, the president Shared his humorous stories frequent. History's great leaders, once long ago; Helped shape the America we know. 12/29/2020 Lincoln was 6’ 4” tall

Wonderful tribute; and he is known for his integrity and honesty. Two traits that make him presidential even to this day! Love this. I think it's a winner.

Good write, Eve. An honest President. I wonder what he would think about the liar who now holds the postion. Thank goodness, not for much longer.

Indeed the greatest president. You will not find one like him. ~~

The greatest President ever, methinks. And to think that he was entirely self-educated. Speaks volumes. (btw: for all of his anti-intellectualism, the current POTUS went to Wharton Business School, the best). H.N.Y., Eve! :) Gershon
