Impeachment ?
                
The presidents in turn
Have had problems to face,
With much public concern
And a few times disgrace.

Washington commander
In that cold Valley Forge.
Courages to muster,
Enemies to engorge.

Jefferson's assistant
Had his problems then too,
Was losing candidate
His rival drew too slow.

Lincoln's heart was shattered
War separated states,
Thing that really bothered;
The whites thought they the greats.

Nixon is president
On this poetic day,
Acting like as innocent
Corruption is his way.

Watergate Burgulary
Muddied his name for now
Involvement? a mystery,
But none is his own vow.

Impeachment a question
To make this country straight.
No, is my opinion
For it is much too late.
