Scattershooting with Presidential couplets…
***
Old uncle Joe became kinda slow,
a puppet clown for the Leftist show
***
He’d be banned in Boston, where he would never do,
because Trump was New York City through and through.
***
Though schooled at Harvard, Columbia, and Punahou,
Obama’s glow still suffered foreign policy woe
***
Like “nu-ce-lear” fusion, Texas and W were linked,
from war his Administration certainly did not shrink
***
The Ivy League and Rhodes scholarship aside,
Arkansas’ Clinton was Hillbilly Bill to the snide.
***
The elder Bush served his country with distinction and yet,
whether he was more Houston or Kennebunkport was anyone’s bet.
***
That President Reagan played a part we all knew,
yet it worked and the country was born anew
***
From Plains, Georgia came a good man named Jimmy Carter,
He made a mess, and about Iran should have been smarter.
***
President Ford was a fill-in it’s true,
But he was a stout Michigan man who fought the Swine Flu.
***
And what can one say about Tricky Dick and Watergate?
Except that Nixon went to China before meeting his rat-fucking fate.
***
A barefoot boy from Texas, a champion of civil rights,
President Johnson is best remembered for ill-considered fights.
***
Camelot and President Kennedy’s time were too short,
as the hope from Hyannis Port did an assassin’s bullet abort.
***
About President Eisenhower, I don’t personally know,
I was too young and so farther back I shall not go
