'ladybird,' the Prophetess

The wife of LBJ, known to all as 'Ladybird'
    was famous for the following words
      'Plant a tree, a shrub, or a bush'

  She never dreamed they'd lead to
    two more Texans in the White House
  First the father, George Herbert Walker
    Then the son, smart-alecky George W. Bush!
