RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
HARRY S. TRUMAN
A second story Balcony!
It seemed a simple plan
To give a quiet breathing space
To a much harried man.
Yet no sooner was it mooted
Than a fierce attack began:
The die-hards of the nation
Pronounced a solemn ban -
What! touch this sacred edifice?
(Quite often touched before)
ITwas sacrilege to those who loved
The sunshine of I. R.
Now the tempest has subsided;
The tea pot scarcely stirs;
And the shade of Thomas Jefferson
In shadow gently purrs.
Com Adams Delano
