AMERICAN PRESIDENTS ~ SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS!

BRIAN & ANGELA

There's Washington ~ John Adams

Jefferson and Maddison 

Munroe ~ Quincy Adams ~ Jackson

Van Buren and Harrison

Tyler ~ Polk and Taylor

Fillmore ~ Pierce and Buchanan ~ and then

Abraham Lincoln ~ assassinated by a madman !

 

Johnson ~ Grant ~ Hayes and Garfield

Arthur ~ Cleveland ~ Harrison ~ what's more

Grover Cleveland once again.................

And that makes twenty four !

McKinley ~ Theo Roosevelt and Taft

Wilson ~ Harding ~ Coolidge ~ Hoover

Franklin Roosevelt ~ who served a twelve year draft !

 

Harry Truman ~ Eisenhower ~ ill fated JFK

Lyndon Johnson ~ Nixon ~ who found crime didn't pay !

Gerry Ford and Jimmy Carter ~ Ronald Regan and George Bush

The Charismatic Clinton and then  The Son of Bush

Elected by the "hanging chads" which gave Al Gore the push !

 

We than got our first Black President

Barack Obama was his name 

We ALMOST got a Female next

But TRUMP from nowhere came !

Hillary sadly from the spotlight went

Now DONALD TRUMP's the forty fifth President !

I hope my poem don't cause friction

Election FACT's are much stranger than FICTION !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Please add your

favorite PRESIDENT to my latest FUSION POEM ~ Thanks BRIAN.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Every American President is a Character ~ several have been assassinated and several have died (of natural causes) in Office. The Good ~ the Not so Good ~ and the Ugly. Several were Vice-Presidents some of whom became "Accidental Presidents" following the death of the President ~ some where elected like George Bush Snr. Some lost (Al Gore ~ Hillary Clinton) the Crown even though they won the popular vote. My favorite will always be the Third President (1801 ~ 09) Thomas Jefferson who doubled the size of the USA ~ buying "Middle America" from the French ~ The Louisiana Purchase. He also wrote the Declaration of Independence ! Please add you favorite President to my Fusion Poem. Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

    A bit of potted history - some names long since forgotten. Well put together Brian

      Thanks MICHAEL ~ Many are forgotten but history shows that every President has left his mark on the USA ~ especially as many of them were VP's and State Governors. What worries me most about TRUMP is his total lack of "Political" experience. He has already demonstrated this with his illegal and heavy handed approach to the entry of "innocent" Citizens from Muslim Countries into the USA. Thanks for your comments BRIAN

      Loved your poem! I love history and the presidents are no exception. My favorite quote is the one you have on your fusion because it's becoming a bit of tyranny. This is so well written! Exceptional job!

        Thanks CHRIS ~ Washington was rather Imperial which was why Jefferson preferred The French Republican Model (Liberte ~ Egalite ~ Fraternite ou la Mort !) to the British Imperial Model which is still infused with the Aristocracy. Thanks for your comment ~ Just for you I will replace the quote ! Imperial Hugs ~ BRIAN

        Nicely done from across the pond.

          THANKS "A" ~ I find American Presidents (and their First Ladies) very fascinating and Trump has not disappointed ! He has caused more furor in his first week than some Presidents do in Two Terms ! I am sure you must have a fave President ~ could you please add Him to my Fusion Poem ~ Thanks ~ BRIAN.
