Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau
Spent two years in a one room chateau 
Went to the pond to dip his booty
No dice – lifeguards off-duty

Like Carnegie, Thoreau's name is usually accented incorrectly. He would be considered a Libertarian today, I think. Congratulations.

Dear David, this is very clever. I was in a play called "The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail." He didn't pay a "tax" so he could vote. Thoreau is one of my heroes and this poem goes to my faves. Congratulations on your win! Carolyn
