Hello White House! ! ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

Hello White House!
I have called to say hi!
My attire is without a tie
As I am not a resident of the house

Oh! This hallowed house
Many men in the past had resided
With their better halves, they had been sided
All of them make the history of the house

Where can I stand in this kind of a house?
That I can feel like a president
One; that is the most important resident
A feeling borne by only the one elected into the house

Anyway, I can just make do touring the house
Get absorbed in aura of the oval office on the west wing
And walk majestically through the east colonnade of the east wing
Then live with the memories of visiting the White House
