James Madison, renowned writer and scholar.
James Monroe was the last of this dynasty to follow.
John Quincy Adams was a northern VIP.
Andrew Jackson was the first who hadn't been wealthy,
a natural leader, whom the people had picked. Then came
Martin Van Buren, a master at politics.
William H. Harrison had fought in battles, far and wide.
John Tyler completed his term when he'd died.
James K. Polk expanded to the western shore.
Zachary Taylor had led the army in the Mexican War.

It's just the presidents; how many do you know?
What was happening in history when they ran the show,
in the USA, for two hundred-plus years?
Collo and SPARK! Open your eyes and ears.

Ulysses S. Grant, the Union Army he had handled.
Rutherford B. Hayes was too honest to get in scandals.
James A. Garfield had been poor; through hard work, he made it.
Chester A. Arthur took over when he was suddenly assassinated.
Grover Cleveland fearlessly fought corruption.
Benjamin Harrison was a brief interruption (because then,
Grover Cleveland was elected again).



William McKinley had made big business his friend until he
met his end, the third president killed. Then the position was filled by
Theodore Roosevelt, who fought the "malefactors of great wealth."
A believer in the government to better the land,
both at home and abroad he held a strong hand.

It's just the presidents; how many can you name?
bWhat things did they do to bring them fame and shame?
When you've got a knowledge base, your mind you can activate;
U.S. history you can start to investigate.

William H. Taft became Chief Justice of the Court.
Woodrow Wilson led the nation into the First World War.
Warren Harding died of shock when corruption was revealed.

Herbert Hoover saw the start of the Great Depression.
Franklin D. Roosevelt chose aggression to slowly make progression
out of the mess we were in; we entered World War 2, and we played to win.

Harry S. Truman dropped the bombs on Japan, signed the Marshall Plan,
joined NATO, and began the Korean War, so we could fight the threat of communism.
Dwight D. Eisenhower saw the might of racism.
John F. Kennedy faced integration, taking on Russia, and
constructing a foundation for equal civil rights and more
justice for the poor, at the time we were caught in the Vietnam War.

Lyndon B. Johnson became president when JFK was shot and
implemented programs for which Kennedy had fought.

It's just the presidents; how many do you know?
What was happening in history when they ran the show,
in the USA, for two hundred-plus years?
Collo and SPARK! Open your eyes and ears.
