An Ode to Dick Nixon
Former President Richard Nixon marred much of the years I spent in Washington DC moons ago when it was my favorite city of residence. Perhaps it still is in spite of how subsequent political and financial crooks and varmints have clouded its much-touted promise. Anyway, the following Ode occurred to me unbidden on this, the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Tricky's birth:
Dick Nixon would be one-oh-oh if he were walking 'round"I'm not a crook," or so he said but differently was found
Yet not all bad we must admit politicly astute
still paranoia was his fall which caused him ill repute.

Now! Glad that's done. Here's a post from 2007 concerning President Richard M. Nixon's resignation with a few astro-notes on his personality if you're game. You'll find a link to his letter of resignation therein.
