Presidential Library Fountains
Presidential Library Fountains
By Elton Camp
Presidential libraries reveal the man
Both his foibles and his plan
A fountain stands in front of each
Facts about the president to teach
Nixon’s gives the viewer a little peek
Of a plumber while stopping a leak
Kennedy’s fountain looks a lot
Like a scene from Camelot
Johnson’s is like a battle scene
The worst U.S. history has seen
The Reagan fountain’s like a microphone
As the Great Communicator he’s known
The Clinton library fountain space
Show a kneeling woman in disgrace
Bush number one is a fine sight
Showing a thousand points of light
But for Bush number two
Only a waterboarding will do
On and on goes the fountain list
Several presidents have been missed
Realize this poem is only a pretense
So please don’t take any offense
