Famous People - 2 Poem by Ben Gieske

George Washington had a three-cornered hat.
It was black and on a chair it sat
In which Mrs. George Washington wanted to sit.
There she sat and had quite a fit.

Mark Twain loved playing with his train.
Its whistle had a unique refrain.
That’s why his talk was open and plain.
He was always thinking of his train.

Jonathan Swift took only one trip.
He didn’t like sailing by ship.
With Gulliver he went on foot
All the way to Lulliput.

James Fenimore Cooper
Was no trooper.
He just liked playing Indians and cowboys
With all the other little boys.

William Shakespeare was a famous writer.
He was also a ferocious fighter.
Mightier than the sword was his pen.
His daemon was a fire-eating dragon.
