Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

New Picture For Dollar Bill

New Picture for Dollar Bill

By Elton Camp

There’s a movement underway
To make currency fit more today

Only a very long time ago
Did a woman’s picture show

Martha Washington was the one
Though but little by her was done

There’s one I’d prefer to see
Dolly Parton it should be 

I’m sure that most would agree
She’s better than George to see

My choice, please follow through
She’s beautiful and competent, too

To remove him, we really should
A fuddy-duddy with teeth of wood

A nation’s image is everything
A better one, Dolly would bring

“You’re disrespectful,” some may say
But Washington is just so “yesterday”

His deeds were a long time ago
Who can know if they’re even so?

Some of them, it surely seems
Came from lying Parson Weems

An unstoppable move has begun
Let’s put Dolly Parton on the one!
