Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Trivia
Presidential Trivia for Theodore Roosevelt, the Twenty Sixth President of the United States
Born into a family of much power and wealth
His dad was a philanthropist known as "Thee"
Mom was Mittie, from a southern family.
Theodore Roosevelt was the second child of four
Born in a four-story brownstone in New York
Asthmatic and sickly, had to sleep sitting up
Or propped up in bed through his childhood.
Home schooled thanks to his asthmatic misery
Low self-esteem, but he loved natural history.
His father put him in boxing for the exercise
He kept up his boxing for most of his life.
Three days after his beautiful daughter was born
This day he marked X, and forever scorned.
For on this day, exactly eleven hours apart
His wife and mom died, thus breaking his heart.
The birth of the "teddy bear" came into play
Due to his animal kindness, and his nickname
His peacemaking abilities in the Japanese War
Gained him the Nobel Peace Prize award.
His second wife Edith, his childhood sweetheart
Gave him five children, and a brand new start.
Our twenty sixth president was an excellent pick
He really walked softly, and carried a big stick.

great poem faye :)
What a great poem - loved this one!
At least he did something to EARN the Peace Prize...Love ya!
Was just starting to get samrt, and thinking "Faye's not mentioned the teddy bear..." You've certainly done a lot of research! Not a bad legacy having the teddy bear named after you.
Great job Faye. You're making it harder to pick a favorite. I loved his mom's name, "Mittie".
Awesome, Faye. Cheers :)
Another great job, Sis. Keep up the good work. Love ya.:)
how sad about his wife and mother, beautifully summarised :)
This man is one of my favorite presidents of all time next to President Lincon.
