Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week, in honor of President’s Day, is politics.
Today’s poem is a name poem for George Washington, who was
famous for not telling lies.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
George does not admit to telling lies,
Even as he tells them every day.
One lives in a perpetual disguise,
Reduced to a self-marketed display.
Great men wear life well, for they are wise
Enough to know the things that none need say.
