John Quincy Adams, our Sixth President, to meet with Mole People, planned a descent down to the center of Earth where they stayed. Left office too soon...expedition not made. January 23, 2019 For: Educate Me With Humor - Leader Clerihew Poetry Contest Sponsored by Andrea Dietrich "John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) American diplomat and Sixth President of the United States of America 1825-1829. No doubt U.S. presidents use their position of power to do some strange things, but John Quincy Adams just may win the award for the weirdest appropriation of tax dollars. Believe it or not, John Quincy Adams, our Sixth President, authorized an expedition to the center of the Earth to search for the mole people who he believed inhabited the bowels of the planet."

You really gave me info I never heard of with this one. I have heard of people at the center of the earth, but not mole people. Supposedly they are aliens or something, so maybe the guy was onto something!! Congrats for your placement!
