Woodrow Wilson Guthrie
sang about the people who lived roughly
he wrote and sang earthy songs a plenty
and he was friend and mentor to many
Woodrow Wilson, back then a progressive
Now considered a wholesale regressive ~
Just think, Hilary / DJT *
What will you soon be ~
Deplorable compulsive-obsessive
*If Republican, read 'Hilary'
If Democrat, read 'DJT'
Alternatively, read 'JRB,' -- (Joseh Robinette Biden)
The Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel lit red, white, and blue
On the eleventh day of November, there’ll be a crowd.
All day local beaches have folks coming to pay respect,
today as they celebrate Veterans Day solemn and proud.
Armistice Day coincides, Woodrow Wilson vowed,
to work out in peace a new and more justly set.
On the eleventh day of November, there’ll be a crowd.
Caskets are covered, an American flag as their shroud
They salute them and the crosses in the sand, then reflect,
today as they celebrate Veterans Day solemn and proud.
Representing the heroism of those who died allowed,
Americans to honor all five US Armed Forces select.
On the eleventh day of November, there'll be a crowd.
A women’s veteran day will be recognized, endowed.
For their unique challenges, this soon will be in effect,
today as they celebrate Veterans Day solemn and proud.
This day at the pier parade bands play scores loud,
sharing hugs with those who’ve lost and have regret.
On the eleventh day of November, there’ll be a crowd,
today as they celebrate Veterans Day solemn and proud.
Find fun from four,
Starting with four-wheeler;
A vehicle like fancy car
Comforts the mind of the driver.
The Fantastic Four film
Fills your heart with excitement;
Superheroes emerge victorious
Because of their noble intent.
The Big Four at Versailles
Includes Vittorio Emanuele Orlando,
Woodrow Wilson, David Lloyd George,
And Georges Clemenceau.
The Final Four in basketball
Slug it out in crossover semis;
Conquerors meet in championship,
Vying to win the trophy's bliss.
Look for this nice number,
You can see statements galore;
Seek the joy it truly brings,
Find fun from four.
American green
The tree of life gave birth to a nation and these men who helped nature
shape it. The father of our Country George Washington the 1st President.
There is Thomas Jefferson author of the Declaration of Independence.
There's ol' Abraham Lincoln issuing the Emancipation Proclamation
he enforced, and Alexander Hamilton the first Secretary of Treasury
and most famous dueler of course. What about Andrew Jackson the Indian
remover and election winner but loser, or Ulysses S. Grant victorious Union
General, boring President. Next is William McKinley Spanish-American War
winner and assassination receiver. Don't forget Grover Cleveland only man to
be elected president, then lose, then get elected again. Our third President
James Madison who fathered our Constitution and a guy named Salmon Chase
but ambition killed him. Last on this list Mr. Woodrow Wilson who brought us into
and out of World War I, that was fun...Do you yet see these men's commonality?
They are the faces of our wealth for they are all money green...
Woodrow Wilson said,"A
conservative is a man who just sits
and thinks, mostly sits."
Well, if he mostly sits,
I call that laziness.
If his feet were planted firmly in the
air, like FDR says,
At least he's not a radical.
