daniel boone





daniel boone was a mighty man
a mighty man was he
he carried a long long rifle
and slept beneath a tree

daniel was not as one man
but had the strength of ten
he marched all through the wilderness
and marched back out again

some say he never did the things
that he was said to do
but i believe he did them
because his heart was true

daniel boone killed indians
like you and me kill flies
who knows what scenes of hate and death
passed before his eyes

benjamin harrison




spencer perceval was prime minister of england
but nobody knew who he was

benjamin harrison was president of the united states
but nobody knew who he was

they were pious men who knew their bible
and took their responsibilities seriously

sometimes benjamin harrison would get up
and look out the window at the white house lawn

and think, i am president of the united states
but nobody knows who i am

sometimes i think i am just like benjamin harrison
and i am not even president of the united states
