“A Ghoulish Presidential Nightmare”

As the glorious night rumbles on and I’m snoring away,

I should’ve had a peaceful night’s sleep at the end of my day.

Little did I know I was awakened by this frightening dream.

It was President Jack Daniels; he was acting creepy and mean.

I was shopping at a rummage sale, just browsing looking around,

When in my dream, I seen President Jack’s, his ice cream fell to the ground.

He started this tantrum, yelling and screaming, what could I say?

His wife Ruby was there trying to calm him and quiet him that day.

“There, there, my dear, Daniel, it’s okay,” she said with a sigh.

“We’ll get you another ice cream, please, Honey, don’t cry.”

It made me glad I woke up from this nightmare tonight,

Dreaming of Jack Daniels; his tantrum gave me quite a fright.

I never thought I’d be dreaming of President Jack Daniels in any way;

As I voted for Shirley Temple in sheer respect, hoping for a better day!
