presidence

today is a day
for
Presidents

we know because of
time off
and the sales

but for Presidents

there have some good ones
and some
bad
ones

and we might say that’s
only human

but in addition to conniving
of the parties
and the money
behind
the money

there is will
as well
and so many words to affirm
in ideals
to the nation

that provide
no excuse
for not
trying to serve
us

which is the only reason
the position was
created
though partisans might differ
but
the one
and following

the preamble plus
everything that follows
must confirm
