  • To Andrew Johnson, My Favorite Presidential Tailor (December 29)

    johnson

    johnson, johnson from tennesee,
    worst president ever? at least top three!
    face like a hatchet, but fingers so nimble,
    a first-rate president with a thimble.

    your time at the top was im-peachy keen;
    too bad your qualms with amendment fourteen
    and your tenure of office violation
    caused unfortunate presidential termination.

    I hear you were drunk during your inauguration—
    now that deserves some admiration.
    oh johnson, johnson, may I propose:
    I need someone to mend my clothes.
