Overview

A spoonful of poetry helps the mockery go down! This collection of presidential poems is historical and hysterical. The clerihew is a simple poetic form specifically invented to make fun of famous people--and who is more famous than the misbehaving presidents of the United States? Here are forty-three poems teasing the commander-in-chief that are fun to read aloud and even more fun to write yourself. From the author of the incredibly inventive Lemonade: And Other Poems Squeezed from a Single Word comes a new collection filled with zingers, humdingers, and Presidential Misadventures.
