Amazing Beautiful Elephant Abe

Lions were talking about the ABE (amazing beautiful elephant).
Which one is it? Someone asked.
They stared at the newcomer.
You mean you cannot tell?

She had not seen the ABE yet.
The ABE came from the north, her ears flapping.
Painted in a multitude of gorgeous colors, like a monarch.
I see her now, the newcomer said.
What can she do?

Just being

Abe and Issaquena-F

Beware the pieces of the puzzles of your life.
Treasure them early; appreciate them for life.

She was the sight of my first job opportunity away from the farm.
She bridged the social gap between 'my boyhood and my manhood'.

He had a shoe store when I asked him for a job, and he said yes.   

Saving Abe

My granddad’s five-dollar bill in hand
Was blown by a breeze through farmland.
 Our dog, King, “saved the Abe”
Fetched the bill straight away
To return it to my grandad’s hand.


(True Story that happened in the 1960s)

His Name Was Abe

I do not remember any of my grandfathers nor any uncles in our                                          

Abe Lincoln Writes

ABE LINCOLN WRITES TO JOSHUA SPEED
						
Dear Joshua: 
	You know that I love you,
That I have always loved you– only you!
The woman means nothing to me– nothing!
Henceforth, don’t write angry letters to me!
Mary always was and always will be
A splinter between us in our bed:– but–			
I can’t be shut of her in this office!
Did my connivance

Honest Abe

Abraham Lincoln
      A secular person who stood against the elite and ended slavery
            A Prolific President and brand ambassador of bravery
                  

Abe Lincoln's Return

Abe Lincoln returned for a day
  He looked about him in his curious way

Mused to himself, must be mean pirates here
  Everyone and his sister sports a blue beard

Ode To My Hero: Dear Abe

With Presidents Day coming up this Monday, I submit my tribute to the president born Feb. 12, 1809:

Ode to My Hero: Dear Abe

At many things, Abe Lincoln was the best.
From boyhood to manhood, how he shone.
Foreordained to lead, dear Abe was blessed.

I picture him a farm lad poorly dressed -
kind soul and working so hard

Honest Abe and Liar Trump

When Honest Abe and Liar Trump
Ended up in the City Dump
Because it rained
Just one complained
Big Liar Trump, The Tweeting Grump

Honest Abe

Honest

Wrestler, self-taught lawyer, eloquent writer/orator, and man of integrity.

Son of Nancy Hank and Thomas Lincoln; beloved stepson of Sarah Bush.

Lover of books, animals and a good joke!

He felt empathy for the downtrodden and sadness, yet the need to persevere.

He feared slavery’s expansion, the collapse of democracy and failed leadership.

He wanted feedom for the slaves, freedom

Abe Needs a New Barber

Abe’s barber, Chris, got so confused
because strong cold pills he’d abused.
Chris hacked up Abe’s haircut,
declared, “I’m NOT drunk, but
EYES fail me!” Abe was not amused.

“For Heaven’s sake!” Abe did exclaim.
“Glad you’re not a doctor. You’d maim
heads—not only head HAIR!”
If you want to be fair,
just don’t cut hair when your brain’s lame!

Elle To Abe

How cryptic would I have to be to get this off my chest
One score and yet it seems like yesterday it was the best
Most simple feeling that a girl could ever come to realize
A moment and a smile, gone and lost in big, sea-colored eyes
Ill-fated from the start, but gotta hand it to us kids
Who

Ode To My Hero, Honest Abe

" Exult O shores, and ring O bells!       
But I with mournful tread, 
Walk the deck my Captain lies, 
Fallen cold and dead."(Final lines from Walt Whitman's "O Captain My Captain")

My hero, oh how wonderful it would have been
to know you personally, to have spent time with you,
especially since

Honest Abe Lincoln

Sixteenth president “Honest Abe” Lincoln

did a lot of mighty fine thinkin’.

Though born in a cabin dirt poor,

he’d rise to free the slaves with a civil war.

Abe Lincoln As a Democrat

Abe Lincoln As A democrat
© Ben Burton 8-25-2014

The evil of men being sold
Long past, since Mr. Lincoln's fight
Still, dark suspicion blooms and grows
And loots the cause of civil rights

The North designed a whipping horse
Down in the segregated South
Yet, Major Leagues were all up north
For eighty years, no blacks allowed

Conservatives, oddly accused
Of vitriol toward dark skin
