Haiku Friday: Favorite Presidents
GOP Introduces New "Mystery Candidate" With Paper Bag Over Head
Perhaps I have politics on the brain, but I have always liked an old-fashioned debate on the relative merits of our national leaders. Let's haiku on that today! I will go first:
Michael Scott was clear:
His number one president?
Benjamin Franklin!
Feel free to haiku about any president-- past, present, or future (ie, Robosaorus). The winner, as usual, wins the prize of their bio here on Monday.

~Abe~
He lost much:mother,
First love,elections,dear sons.
Sad war of brothers: won?
Born in rude cabin
Taught himself to read,practiced
Law,made jokes and friends
Married plump dove Belle
Whose mind rode the edge
As did his in grief.
Cultivated minds--
Listened to enemies,put
Them in Cabinet.
Noble mind,great heart--
Every soldier boy's death caused
Abe Thunder of pain
As he sat at Ford's,
Respite moment,end of war,
O noble head...shot dead.
He had such plans: Damn!
Plans of kindliness,no
Revenge. To build up.
He the immortal
I want to meet in Glory .
Hold his big hand.Talk.

Butif we could have a Dream Ticket this time I say we bring back Clinton with Michael Scott as VP. Dwight Schrute - head of CIA.
Restored hungry us
hungry for jobs,food,from a
Body that did not work.
The Poor Man's Friend cared
From the lap of luxury,
Traitor to his class: FDR.
Married a cousin
Who had the brain but not looks
Eleanor spoke worth.
In lover's bed Hot Springs
He died.Mother remembered
Telling neighbors news.
Bringing the news.
