George Washington was the one
Who led our country through war,
But through it all, his teeth and gums
Were exceedingly sore.

His teeth fell out, or they were pulled?
One by painful one.
Could he become our President?
Or should he even run?

In this new book, you'll come to see
The courage that he had
To lead through wars and toothaches
Without looking terribly sad.
