George Washington Poem by Christopher Rudolph
George Washington became the First President
of the United States in 1789
No other can outshine
From Westmorland County
In the great Virginia state
Not far from Alexandria
At his Mount Vernon estate
He loved to go fox hunting
And dancing was a ball
But a leader he was natural
And always answered duties’ call
During the American Revolution
Commanded the Army Continental
United States victorious
His leadership instrumental
Over the Convention in Philadelphia
Washington presided
A new Constitution for our country
In 1787 was decided
Unanimously elected President
Many precedents he made
Charisma, charm, and courage
Always on display
Washington lived to 67
Dying in 1799
Henry Lee, a dear friend
Stated this famous line
He was “First in peace”
“First in War” time and again
And always “First in the hearts
of his countrymen”
