Pat Adams Poet Quatrain

You Might Not Know

The reality in the movie "Twister"
Of the frightening storms sound
Was the noise of a camels moan
That had been greatly slowed down

The idea of painting fingernails
We all have the Chinese to thank
Where the color of someones nails
Would indicate their social rank

James Madison the fourth president
For the U.S., was great all around
Although he Stood only five feet four
And weighed less than one hundred pounds

The canning process for herring
Developed by Sardinia teams
Might explain why canned herrings
are better known as Sardines

I love when I can learn something new- Pat Adams July 11, 2018 at 6:13 PM What you say is very true. I never liked history very much in school, but I do like things like this as well.

Cheryl Hoffman June 20, 2018 at 8:06 AM A fun interesting factual write Pat; I had no idea James Madison was that size...and that they used a camel noise for the twister sound...how unusual and cool is that! (Not to mention the fingernail painting and sardine info!)~Che :) Pat Adams June 20, 2018 at 3:47 PM I know right? Who says, "Try slowing down a camels moan! That ought to do it!"....................80)
