Irony He Wrote Poem by Ima Ryma

Irony He Wrote



July 4th, the Declaration
Of Independence became fact,
Written by Thomas Jefferson,
Perhaps 'twas his most famous act.
July 4th,50 years hence - fate
Chose that date - Jefferson to die
At Monticello, his estate.
He died quite deep in debt, and why?
Cuz he spent money lavishly,
And was not very skilled at biz.
He even tried a lottery,
But that and other schemes did fizz.

Jefferson's daughter had to sell
Monticello and slaves as well.
