George W

Washington chopped down his pop’s cherry tree.
He led our armed forces to victory.
And then just for kicks,
he entered politics.
How far did George go with his honesty?

Ha ha ha, now that is a good one Robert! So is it necessary to be honest to get into politics, then or now? You've done well with this Limerick! Great Work!!
