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

Thanks. I learned that many more presidents have libraries than I knew about although they are outside the system established in later terms. Some are state supported and some are on university campuses.
