So again it is Poetry Month,
Where are the president’s best regards?
Can he not find one poet to congratulate?
There must be one conservative poet,
That would stand proud with him.

Can he not find an example for US?
Laura Bush can offer suggestions.
She is truly a talented first lady.
Her love of the arts is well known.
Government recognizing this month.

What kind of poetry do they like?
Who is his favorite poet’s from college?
Could we not know his favorite verse?
Or how about just a biblical verse?
Just anything about his love of the arts.

Could not poets come together in Washington,
Reciting the masters of the written words.
Speak in the verse of uniting America,
Upon words so diversely beautiful, our spirits
Fly among the winds of our fore fathers.

Let us all swamp the emails of Congress
Having a dead American poet words read,
As a tribute to free spirited written words,
That generates from a dynamic constitution,
Words proud to claim American heritage.
