A spoonful of poetry helps the mockery go down! This collection of presidential poems is historical and hysterical.

The clerihew is a simple poetic form specifically invented to make fun of famous people—and who is more famous than the misbehaving presidents of the United States? Here are forty-three poems teasing the commander-in-chief that are fun to read aloud and even more fun to write yourself. From the author of the incredibly inventive Lemonade: And Other Poems Squeezed from a Single Word comes a new collection filled with zingers, humdingers, and Presidential Misadventures.

In The News

“These poems are satisfying bursts of sarcasm and wit, and an appendix provides clarification about Raczka's many political and historical references.” —Publishers Weekly

“Presidential portraits in light verse . . . Raczka's irreverent quatrains show middle graders no figure is too lofty for some poetic play.” —Kirkus Reviews
