A Triolet for James Monroe, Or, My Era of Good Feelings

I have a doctrine for you, Monroe—
And I call it the Doctrine of Love.
O, colonize my lands both high and low!
I have a doctrine for you, Monroe:
For ‘tis you who sets my heart aglow:
Nary another pres but you I’m thinking of!
I have a doctrine for you, Monroe,
and I call it the Doctrine of Love.
