Common little children let me tell you a story
And teach you a lesson all bout fame and glory
There once was a man by the name of TJ
Born in Shadwell in the great state VA
Known for his skill in putting words together
Adams and Franklin they gave him a feather.
And said, "Mr. TJ we’re coming to you
Write against the stamp act and the Georgian king too!"
So TJ wrote: the grievances we cannot stand
We declare independence yup that’s what we demand
Well push came to shove, and they started to fight
A new nation was born, as if over night.
His wife Martha died – thus ending their romance
But TJ moved on and was ambassador to France
The great things he accomplished did not end there
He fought for freedom until his red head was bare.
He fought hard with federalists for states rights
Became U.S. president with political might
Louisiana purchase, foundation of UVA
Contributions like these still affect us today.
So remember my children, how to be great
TJ is one of the best examples to date.
That sounds great!
