babraham lincoln

ingrid as abe lincoln

on the eve of the day of presidents, here are two little tributes:  a picture of ingrid from halloween '11 in one of the best costumes i've ever seen.

and, a few poems from abraham lincoln.  my favorite is the bear hunt, but it's a bit long to post here, so i'm linking it instead of pasting in.

here are two interesting ditties from the prez:

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

his hand and pen

he will be good but

god knows When
 

AND

To Rosa

You are young, and I am older;

      You are hopeful, I am not—

Enjoy life, ere it grow colder—

      Pluck the roses ere they rot.

Teach your beau to heed the lay—

      That sunshine soon is lost in shade—

That now’s as good as any day—

      To take thee, Rosa, ere she fade.
