  • To Chester A. Arthur on his 178th Birthday (October 5)

    chester

    Chester, Chester, walrus man,
    You can be president, I know you can.
    When Garfield kicked the bucket, you stepped in
    And showed them you didn’t need to win
    Some silly election.

    You showed those Chinese immigrants who was in charge
    And they feared you since were so large.
    When you signed the Tariff Act of 1883
    You never seemed so sexy to me—
    Oooh, Chester, Chester , walrus man.
