Thirty-five long years apart

Two presidents make a mark

... Both have played similar roles

Doing their jobs well, but cajoled



One brought us to the edge of World War

Then was killed before he could do more

The other has pretty darn well kept the peace

But has a similar bent for which he's teased



As his predecessor did thirty-five years before

The current White House resident is also deplored

For having healthy, normal, sexual urges

Which so very many of us do in splurges ...



Yet, Puritannical ethics advocate denial

And now we are bringing our current president to trial

Perhaps, though, it is that this is a very much better way ...

Than to assassinate the poor bugger as they did that day!
