The President Who Does It All, A very egotistic elf. Is blind to what the rest can do. Is mucllaged upon himself. Over the whole committee work He manages somehow to sprawl. And runs the whole society ''" The President Who Does It All. The President Who Does It All Is very certain, in his pride. The whole society would stop If he. perchance, were laid aside. He meddles with the least details. He dictates all thinij^ great and small; He's It, he'd have you understand ''" The President Who Does It All. The President Who Does it All Will get mad and resign some day* And And, to his intense surprise. The other members glad and gay. He'll see the brisk society Spring up as if released from thrall, And go rejoicing on, without The President Who Does It All. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...JOHN BROWN'S BODY by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET HISTORICAL REFLECTIONS by JOHN HOLLANDER TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON INAUGURATION DAY: JANUARY 1953 by ROBERT LOWELL LINCOLN TRIUMPHANT by EDWIN MARKHAM YOUNG LINCOLN by EDWIN MARKHAM A MAN CHILD IS BORN (1809) by EDGAR LEE MASTERS AT SAGAMORE HILL by EDGAR LEE MASTERS BRUTUS LIVES AGAIN IN BOOTH by EDGAR LEE MASTERS A BATTLE SONG (WRITTEN IN THE WORLD WAR) by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS |
