President's Day Poems for Kids - Printable Children's Presidents Day PoetryRoosevelt Compliments Mama Lion

by Winifred Sackville Stoner, Jr.

One day last year King Teddy arose with old King Sun
And, seeing a huge lion, he seized his trusty gun
And made the King of Jungle-land quickly homeward run,
While Teddy followed after and thought it lots of fun.
King Lion reached his tavern home, trembling in great fear,
But when Queen Lion heard his tale, she simply scratched one ear,
Then shrugged her shoulders a la hump and to her husband said,
"In all the best newspapers how often have I read
That Teddy loves all parents who large families posses,
And I am sure with many cubs our happy den is blessed."

Then grave and proud Queen Lion she carried out each babe,
And placed it in the doorway of her Afro-jungle cave;
And there she proudly waited for King Teddy to appear,
For of his teeth and of his gun she hadn't any fear.
The coward King of Jungle-land, he hid himself inside,
And when he heard King Teddy's voice his bones shook in his hide;
But soon he knew his fears were vain when Teddy, laughing, said:
"As mother of fine sextets, you surely rank ahead
Of all the lions I have met in circus tents or den,
To meet you I'm DEE-LIGHTED, and I hope we'll meet again."
