Best Franklin Poems

Benjamin Franklin was known for many a-things
Longing for reality to spring from his dreams
On a wild stormy night made a discovery
A dastardly magic called electricity!

However I would bet highly you didn't know
Of Benji's hauntingly beautiful crystal show
Victorian lasses died and went to heaven
The glass armonica...

in full pursuit of liberty,
the turkey, eagle and the dove
looked down upon them from above.

The declaration almost writ
they rubbed their chins a little bit;

That tested his oath of bravery

Ben Franklin was a multi-talented feller indeed,

   Noted mainly for helpin' develop our nation's creed.

      Perhaps lesser known for sufferin' a shockin' jolt

Franklin Delano Roosevelt,
White House is where he dwelt.

your signature can be seen on some great documents.
Helping with the Declaration of independence,

Nation huddled in darkness
As a leader emerged

Once carried people with polio
Visitors to FDR’s Little White House
Hoping tepid water would ease their plight
 
Touring...
