Premium Member Sneaky George

We were staying at a Boston inn in 1773,
just good ol’ George Washington and me.
And he said, "I'm not telling you to lie,
but ~ if Martha comes by ~
tell her you have no idea where I could be."

No Excuse

George Washington said," It
is better to offer no excuse
than a bad one."
What excuse?
I don't have an excuse.
If I did, it wouldn't
sound good.
It's better to say nothing.
But that's not an excuse.
My excuse is...

So, said the toad, you also never chopped down a cherry tree?

George Washington

George Washington was the first President that we had.
When we see his picture on the one dollar bill, it makes us glad.
He refused to be a king and he was our President twice.
He was one of our best Presidents and that was pretty nice.

Premium Member President Washington's Choppers

'Tis well-documented that George Washington had issues with his choppers.

'Tis also well-known that he was not prone to fabricating whoppers.

So it comes as no surprise and can be truly said of our first President,

That truer words were never spoken thru falser teeth by this honorable gent!

De Vose Dilemma

George Washington could not tell a lie
"Honest Abe" was too honest to die
Donald Trump ad-libs
Incredible fibs
Leaving schoolchildren to wonder why 

Our POTUS is really a jerk
His tweets are a childish smug smirk
To Trump's lasting shame
His management's lame
Its teamwork that makes the team work!
Form: Limerick

George Washington

Not Alexander, not Caesar, not Napoleon
None of the warring butchers
Can measure up to him
Who could have been but didn't want to be a king
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 ordinary apple 
To put on the table of a new nation

Premium Member Sage Advice From George Washington

"Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your reputation!"

This sage advice was offered by George Washington, the father of our nation!

Forgotten Elementary Times

There are many things I will miss
All about elementary time
One of them is my mom's kiss
But I've had quite a fun time

We have had lots to learn
Some about George Washington
And we even had a pet fern
But don't forget the multiplication

Kids have had class together
Never once the class split
We might not be together forever
But now we'll be quite a hit

Washington

Out of all of the presidents, George Washington was one of the best.
When he became president, the USA was truly blessed.
They offered to make him king but he rejected it.
Then they offered to make him president and he accepted it.
Washington was a great leader who filled people's hearts with jubilation.
I wish I could travel to the past to see his inaugurations.

Reys Example of Clerihew

Davy Crockett
Never had any pocket
So he had his gun to show
He used it to get a deer, Doe

George Washington
Brave the water of Ocean
To get to our shore
To make our countries core

Bruce Lee
Was a Kung Fu mystery
He trained others in a row
He challenged the times to grow

Queen Elizabeth
Takes our breath
With all her letter list
She leads with an iron fist

Premium Member GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER

I leave today’s blessing in George Washington Carver’s hands
After all he said it best…
so in Mr. Carver’s words:
May we all  blessed to understand

“How far we go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.”

Henry Washington

Black loyalist
One time slave of George Washington
Fighting with the British against rotten Yankees 
3000 blacks went with us and came with us 

In the States now
Black folks but seeming there now just left to rot
But cherished now our black loyalists in England
Part of us 

Last night I dreamt a dreary dream
Beyond the clashing rocks 
I saw a dead man win a fight
And I think that man was I

Weird Happenings

To the director of research 
Operation search I think seen her in church
It's God's way 
To show men the way
God said its not right for man to be alone
So God sent a Spirit of sleep over Adam
And Adam fell into a deep sleep
God took his rib out 
God took his lonliness and rip it out
They say the fruit of knowledge was an apple
Now this is a coincidence 
George Washington cut down the same tree
I think every Son of God should cut down one

Premium Member George Washington Frog

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 yelled.
Knowing full well that he always excelled.
Helicopter Mom and Motorcycle dad.
Still they raised a truly wonderful lad.
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member George Washington Duck

George Washington Duck got his name from his patriotic mother.
She dressed him in red, white, and blue, just like his brother.
He was given a cherry tree and a hatchet when he turned ten.
“Look at me Mama!” He yelled with a happy grin.

Chopping down a cherry tree is more work than he thought.
Because this was a young healthy sapling, not a bit of rot.
His mama gave him a chain saw, and he was in his glory.
Of course, it completely changed the age-old story.

Premium Member A Question For the Us Mint

A little question for the U.S. Mint, how do you decide which President to print?
Which Presidential portrait fits best on the money?
Why did you put President Jackson's face on the $20?
If Abraham Lincoln was our best President, why is
he only on the $5's that we've spent?
It's well known that George Washington slept everywhere,
so perhaps a lower denomination was morally fair.
A chance for a little historical reflection, please explain
this currency connection?

Older Than Columbus

New Jersey has a special tree,
A sturdy, mammoth oak,
Beneath whose shade George Washington
And Lafayette once spoke.

The tree was there before, from Spain,
Columbus started out.
The experts say 600 years
Might be its age (about).

Alas, the tree's demise is near.
It's dying and, though faved
By everyone who knows it,
It's too rotten to be saved.

For now, they're just removing limbs;
Next year it will be felled
But think of all the history
That mighty trunk beheld.

Fallow Field of Words

In fallow field
   Where corn once grew
I chanced upon
   An old mule shoe
I pondered on
   The many miles
The shoe had plod
   In mulish style

In river bed
   Now dry as bone
I came upon
   A worn millstone
Wondered aloud
   The wagons full
Of new milled corn
   The mule had pulled

In old grey barn
   Within a stall
I found these words
   Carved on the wall
George Washington
   Once slept here
Best damn mule
   From far and near

           :)
