Lincoln Please Say

Lincoln, your honesty gave you a name
Death surrounded you in all kinds of ways
Civil War gave you the worst kind of fame.
Wonder if you ever had any good days?

Sounds like Lincoln couldn't even play golf during the Civil War! Can you imagine what a horrible life he led?! LOL. ~ Key Largo

I imagine he would have wasted time on golf. Scoff. Scoff.

Cartoon in the newspaper today features Trump comparing himself to Lincoln in leading the nation to triumph over the pandemic . . . . Honest Abe told the truth and tried to bring the nation together, so no comparison at all! Aloha! Rico

I feel the most sorry for Lincoln; his life was sad almost from the beginning.

Thank you Edward. I had a marvelous day NOT painting my porch which three painters did paint. The great part was trying to keep the dog off for that is where her doggie door is.
