Our Presidents by Winifred Sackville Stoner, Jr. A jingle to help recall the order of Presidents from George Washington - Woodrow Wilson George Washington, Adams and Jefferson three First rulers of Uncle Sam's land of the free: Then Madison, Monroe and Adams again All clever and upright and good honest men; The Jackson, Van Buren and Harrison first, Tyler and Polk whose terms were so curst By war with the Mexicans who lost in the fray - Then Taylor and Fillmore and Pierce held their sway. Buchanan and Lincoln, Johnson and Grant, Then Hayes, martyred Garfield, despiser of cant, Arthur and Cleveland, Harrison (Ben) McKinley the martyr, beloved by all men; Then most energetic and strenuous Teddy And plump William Taft for a second term ready When Wilson was placed in this nation's great chair And promised to always rule wisely and fair.
