SECOND AMENDMENT

SECOND AMENDMENT

There once was a guy known as Abe Lincoln
As President he had done much thinkin’
But his choice of a play
Was a bad one that day
As in his balcony seat was sinkin’

Then another named John F Kennedy
Shot in Dallas, it was a tragedy
The assassination
Caused much speculation
For which the world was not truly ready

At a recent convention, it was Trump
But some shooter with a gun got the hump
A bullet clipped his ear
A miss, and yet so near
Some do say all that one sees is a lump

Congrats on your creative set. Of the three, Lincoln is my hero - best president ever. His assassination had much in common with Kennedy's.
