President Harry Truman,
Told his Bess she wasn't human,
When she, his beloved spouse,
Wouldn't move with him into White House....

President Harry Truman
Had a beloved wife named Bess.
She wouldn't move with him to the White House
And with his Bess, he didn't mess.

     Brawling backrooms 
       swirling in smoke

     Bloody negotiations
       served up smart folks

     Like Ike, JFK and
       Harry S. Truman 

     No Hillaries or Bidens 
       ~ or other clueless humans

HARRY S TRUMAN HAIKU
   (IT AIN'T OVER TIL THE FAT MAN SINGS)
On an August day
Little Boy came out to play
blew a town away.

One more August day
Fat Man dropped in for a date
changed the hands of fate.

Though I ain't of his political creed

   Good ol' Harry Truman we really need

      He didn't apologize

         He said "To 'ell with you guys!"

            We need a guy in the White House who'll lead

LSMFT

LSMFT meant Lucky Strokes Means Fine Tobacco 
during and after World War II. Then it meant Lord 
Save Me from Truman when he came to office.
Now it does mean, "Lord Save Me from Trump
For some very strange and odd reason.

Harry Truman was renown for giving 'em hell

     And in such matters he did excel

          But he got himself in a terrible mess

               When he tried such tactics on dear old Bess

When Harry read his copy of The Washington Post he began to fume!

   A lousy review of daughter Margaret's vocal talent was written by a Mr. Hume.

In a torrid letter Harry told Hume where he could go,

   Adding he'd need a lot of steak for black eyes and perhaps a supporter for below!

I saw a Crow---In the top of a tree
A very short tree---No taller than me
There on the ground---There under that tree
There sat a Coyote---Way shorter than me

What's he doing there---There under that tree
Maybe the Crow's lunch---I'll just wait and see
No, that's not it---The Crow up and flew
Coyote walked away---Nothing else to do

Husband Harry was well known for using earthy language now and then.

   He used a not so nice word other than "crap" over and over again!

Bess heard that term so often that it became hard for her to endure.

   Said she, "I'm trying to get him to clean up his act and use the term "manure!"

There's a way out of hell
There's a way out of hell
She told me there's a way out of hell

I love a cold day in of hell
As the cold rain fell, my evil master's smiled
But deep inside my head i told myself 
"In the end Love will prevail"

Cuz there's a way out of hell
There's a way out of hell
She told me there's a way out of hell

DANG YANKEES

I got a hole in my head
I wish I was dead
Somebody shot a hole in me.

My ears are gone
I feel something's wrong
Why am I tied to this tree?

I want 'a go home
My buddies are all gone
Nothing here I want 'a see.

Yankees are winning
Seems they are all grinning
Not a safe place to be.

So all in all
I'm having a ball
Wouldn't you agree.

Pallor of a country worn
The woodshed all forsaken
With God our freedoms were assured
By governments we're taken



"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."
