George Washington was followed by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson,
And also James (main author of the Constitution) Madison,
Then James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew "Old Ir'nsides" Jack-son,
Succeeded by Van Buren (Martin), William Henry Harrison.

John Tyler filled his term, then James K. Polk and Taylor (Zachary),
Veep Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan. Blacks were freed
By Lincoln during Civil War that almost split the Un-i-on,
Veep Andrew Johnson took his place when he was shot by loony's gun.

Ulysses Simpson Grant stepped down and Rutherford B. Hayes did run.
James Garfield, Chester Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Benj'min Harrison
And Grover Cleveland once again, then Bill McKinley till he passed;
Veep Teddy Roosevelt stepped in and through another term did last.

Next, William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson; Warren Harding gave
Remaining years to V.P. Calvin Coolidge who four more did crave.
Post Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt was President for life,
Till Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower led through Cold War strife.

Then John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson aerial-warred,
And Richard Nixon's second term was finished by Veep Gerald Ford.
Next, James L. Carter lost a second term for having fed malaise,
And Ronald Wilson Reagan from despond the nation's heads all raised.

George Herbert Walker Bush, though good at war, we clearly read his lips.
Bill Clinton is remembered for the interns who made steady trips.
George Walker Bush brought on two wars to ferret out each terrorist;
Barack Hussein Obama sent his drones for those by error missed.

These are the forty-four whom "We the People" have elected,
And there soon will be another when the last one is rejected!
