So here I sleep.
Buried in this dirt.
Covered in this earth.
Returning to the dust.
Finding heaven in the whispers of the wind.
And as for all my friends here,
All these stilled silent voices of Clark Cemetery,
We represent just a single sand pebble
Just a minute...

I found some pithy quotes attributed to the Father of our Nation,
And thought I'd share some with you to further your education.

Not Alexander, not Caesar, not Napoleon
None of the warring butchers
Can measure up to him

Who didn't allow himself to be a god
Who running far ahead of all humankind 
Grabbed the future 
And brought it back
Like an...

George Washington an Old Fuddy-Duddy?

By Elton Camp

What image of Washington comes to mind?
In with your money is the one you will find
Right there George is, on the one-dollar bill
And looking humorless, old and extremely ill

No worse portrait could anyone possibly pick
It is showing a man...

"Mr. President," I asked him,
"How do you think we've done
With this country that you left us
When your worthy race was run?"

"I'm amazed",  he said, "at progress
In two hundred years and plus.
In many ways not the nation
You inherited from us.

God or Science, the skeptics say,
Science is God, no need to pray.
Through it, we can all knowledge gain,
No need for God’s help to explain. 

This fallacy of idle minds
creates a false dichotomy.
Without God’s ken science is blind,

George Washington was the first President that we had.
When we see his picture on the one dollar bill, it makes us glad.

Powdered wig was musty
Curls petrified and crusty
Mothballs smell much better
Especially in August weather.

George put it on his head anyway
Not wanting to disappoint his mother today
Rode on the float and waved to the crowd
Showing out with a hoppy dance, proudly and loud

That’s George Washington! His parents...

If George Washington Should Rise from the Dead

By Elton Camp

From what historians say, it would certainly seem
The country he founded strayed far from his dream

Entangelments with foreign nations he...
