O diminutive and delicate flower,
Tiny, wee father of the Constitution—
Your persuasive words carried tremendous strength
Despite your stature so Lilliputian.

As you wrote of factions and bicameralism,
You threw all 100 pounds into your writing—
With your teeny fingers, you composed the bill of rights
And protested aliens and sedition: how exciting!

Though you led the nation into battle’s thrust
During the regrettable war of 1812,
O Madison, you were a great legislator
And your wife had a really large bust.
