History Lessens
or
The Yawner Role





And who now cares a fish
for Franklin's nude eel?
And who now kisses Betsy's arsewiper?
And who now's surprised by Dirty Dick's lies?
And who now can stand to hear again
Francis's martial cacophony?
And who now denies that Andrew's trail
set us up to fail fail fail?
And who now can see Abraham's hat
without thinking of...well, of all that?
And who now reads what Thomas wrote?
Tippecanoe and who and who?
Tell Yankee Doodle, that pompous clown,
we're sick of his baloney!
