Who dreamed of becoming a lexico-
grapher. Yet all could tell,
After quite a bad spell,
Shed be better off working for Texaco.

A young virtuoso from Cuba
Performed Meistersinger on tuba.
Boasted he: Nothing to it!
Said the critic: You blew it!
Take your tuba and move to Aruba!

Kissed Sir Malcolm and told Mal, "I'll phone ya!"
Lassie skipped off to Italy,
And, alas, he heard diddly.
Grumbled Mal: "That gal's full of Bologna."

George Washington's singular aim:
That the rose garden bearing his name
Be known as a place
Of beauty and grace.
Thus George W.'s bush rose to fame!
