Presidents' Day

Schools are closed, there is no mail And stores hold special sales. To honor our first president, That’s what this day entails. Though technically, our 16th prez Is celebrated, too. To make a Monday holiday, That’s what they chose to do. The 40-something other men Who served the USA As presidents were not awarded Their own special day. So sorry Adams, Jefferson, James Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Jackson And Van Buren – all are no. Poor Harrison and Tyler, Polk and Taylor, Pierce and Grant, Fillmore, Johnson and Buchanan, Hayes and Garfield – no, you can’t. Arthur, Cleveland and McKinley, Harrison and Teddy R., Taft and Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, also FDR… Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ and Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, both the Bushes And Bill Clinton – not on board. Last, no day off for Obama. As to he who’s right now serving, I can’t think of anyone who might Be any less deserving.
