Colonel House: Administrator (1585-1938)

With Southern charm
He forged the hold
Of foreign gold
On town and farm.

He gave us two
Proud presidents—
No accidents--
Yet hid from view.

I guess he felt
That Wilson could
Be used, as should
Be Roosevelt.

He coached the game
To win us all:
The Federal
Reserve’s its name.

And he’s to thank 
For nations leagued
And then intrigued
Behind One Bank.

You ask my source?
Read his own book,
A blood-bathed look
At rule by force.
