Richard Nixon

Richard M. Nixon
                                                      Needed some fixin'.
                                                     His presidency failed,
                                            When Watergate was unveiled.

Good afternoon, Kim..thanks for stopping by my newest poem this morning..there are some very disturbing images and memorabilia from the Death March at the United States Air Force Museum..observing them just stabs me right in the heart....I have an autobiography on Richard Nixon..all I am gonna say is that is Watergate was the only measurement of his life, there is so much more to see. He was instrumental with positive relations with China during stressful times. I like Nixon..I have enjoyed reading your GREAT clerihews, Kim! Gwendolen

But he was railroaded in that little mix up. Too bad they can't do the same with Obama. A good write my friend. God Blesss,\JB

Well I am not a crook. That was the stand he took. At Eastern time around nine, he annouced he would resign. Another great clerihew Kim.

Thanks, Kim, for your kind comments re my poem. I don't know if you are pro-Israel, but at least Nixon helped her out when she needed that help most. God bless, love, Maureen
