Mr. Lincoln Poem by Kervan Aaron

History can be so exciting
Learning about Lincoln is so delighting
All he wanted was peace not fighting
After the Civil War
John Wilkes Booth bore
A hole in Mr. Lincoln’s left ear
Because he had the right of arms to bear

On Mt. Rushmore Lincoln is carved
While John Wilkes Booth rotted behind wires of barbed
