To John Adams, Not Quincy (October 30)

My favorite federalist, Johnny A,
Always knowing what to say
When talking to people
About independence and stuff.You wanted to be called “his high mightiness,”
But you had to acquiesce
To plain ol’ president John.
Sorry about that.You waited to die
Till the fourth of July
Because you had such a crush on America.
That’s fucking hardcore, John Adams.
