18 Acrostic Poems Inspired by U.S. Presidents

Sporcle

In the spirit of the upcoming election, its important to remember those who have come before us. Leaders like Washington, Lincoln, and the Roosevelts have led us through some of the most difficult times in our nation, while others have made mistakes which will haunt our nation forever. What better way to honor our previous presidents then through acrostic poems?

1. George Washington

Wow!

Are you

Saying that

Not the

Greatest president?

Take it back ...

Not?

2. John Adams

Are you a little sad that he is

Dead?

All

My favorite presidents are

So dead

3. Thomas Jefferson

Juicy gossip about Jefferson:

Everyone thinks he is a

Fake.

Forever acting like he is

Everyone's favorite president.

Right off the bat,

Slaves didn't like him.

Our favorite guy, Hamilton, didn't like him.

Not one bit.

4. James Madison

Mighty fine.

Author of our

Dope Constitution.

Is he a cool guy?

Sometimes.

Ought to have tried to be cooler.

No president can be too cool.

5. Andrew Jackson

Jerk.

Always being a jerk.

Could you not?

K thanks.

Stupid Indian removal policy.

Over it, honestly,

Never not angry at Andrew Jackson.

6. Martin Van Buren

Very

Aesthetically pleasing.

Neat looking side

Burns.

U wish you had those sideburns, bro?

Right, you do wish you had those sideburns.

Everyone is looking

Neat with sideburns.

7. Franklin Pierce

Probably our most attractive president,

I'd say.

Everyone thinks he is

Rocking that look.

Cool guy.

Every other president should be jealous.

8. Abraham Lincoln

Look, he

Not bad at all.

Cool guy, abolished slavery.

Overall, a very good thing.

Love him, too bad

No one stopped him from being assassinated.

9. Theodore Roosevelt

Rough Riders are

Outstanding.

Over this whole Panama Canal business.

Sad backstory, his wife and mother died on the same day.

Everyone agrees that it is

Very sad.

Everyone said,

"Let's vote for the Bull Moose party in

This election."

10. William Howard Taft

Too bad that

All anyone remembers is that he was too

Fat

To get out of the bathtub.

11. Franklin D. Roosevelt

Forever his New

Deal

Remains.

12. Harry Truman

Too much like an English teacher.

Round head.

U shouldn't have dropped the atomic bomb,

My man.

Alright taste in glasses,

Nice job stopping Communism, not.

13. John F. Kennedy

Just

Forget about the

Konspiracies, okay?

14. Lyndon B. Johnson

Little loud, sometimes,

But

Just as good as the rest.

15. Jimmy Carter

Caused quite a stir,

Always farming those peanuts

Right down in Georgia.

Too darn cute.

Everyone must love this guy,

Right?

16. Ronald Reagan

Really jealous of his

Effortless hairdo.

Actor in the past.

Great guy, some might think.

Aghast, we cry,

"Not trickle-down economics!"

17. Bill Clinton

Can't forget that he had an affair with Monica

Lewinsky,

It's

Not

Totally great.

Oh my, can he play the saxophone

Now vote for Hillary.

18. Barack Obama

Oh my god, let's just elect him again.

Bye forever, wish you were here.

Always cool,

My favorite president,

Always in my heart.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1007

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2497

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
