White House Ghosts Poem by Paul Warren

In 1942 Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands
Was staying at the White House
When there was a knock on her door
Opening it she saw Lincoln's ghost
Wearing his traditional top hat
And she passed out from fright

When Winston Churchill visited the White House in WWII
He emerged from his bathroom, naked with a cigar in hand
To see the spirit of Lincoln sitting in front of the fireplace in his room
He said, "Good evening, Mr. President. You seem to have me at a disadvantage"

The White House has a number of ghosts
With most Presidents, their staff and family
Having these experiences too.
