This is a poem-- when you go
to the Library of Congress,

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:06.440 align:middle line:84%
you're supposed to
leave a poem behind,

00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:09.230 align:middle line:84%
and I left this one because
I thought it was appropriate.

00:00:09.230 --> 00:00:14.330 align:middle line:84%
It is regarding the, one of the
presidents of the United States

00:00:14.330 --> 00:00:16.070 align:middle line:90%
named Franklin Pierce.

00:00:16.070 --> 00:00:17.605 align:middle line:84%
If you ever go to
New Hampshire--

00:00:17.605 --> 00:00:18.980 align:middle line:84%
ever been to New
Hampshire, well,

00:00:18.980 --> 00:00:20.820 align:middle line:84%
wild place, just
never a dull moment.

00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:22.820 align:middle line:84%
They have all these places
where Franklin Pierce

00:00:22.820 --> 00:00:24.070 align:middle line:90%
used to go, hotels and things.

00:00:24.070 --> 00:00:25.880 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:26.810 align:middle line:90%


00:00:26.810 --> 00:00:30.050 align:middle line:84%
Boy, they must have
really lived it up.

00:00:30.050 --> 00:00:33.440 align:middle line:84%
And then-- but he was sort of
like a matinee idol, actually,

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:34.340 align:middle line:90%
I read.

00:00:34.340 --> 00:00:39.260 align:middle line:84%
But his wife was a recluse, and
this is "Mystery First Lady."

00:00:39.260 --> 00:00:42.030 align:middle line:84%
Franklin Pierce's wife
never came downstairs.

00:00:42.030 --> 00:00:44.540 align:middle line:90%


00:00:44.540 --> 00:00:47.380 align:middle line:90%
She never came upstairs either.

00:00:47.380 --> 00:00:48.380 align:middle line:90%
And now I want to read--

00:00:48.380 --> 00:00:50.780 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:50.780 --> 00:00:54.620 align:middle line:90%


00:00:54.620 --> 00:00:57.245 align:middle line:84%
You want me to read that--
where-- oh, she loved it.

00:00:57.245 --> 00:01:02.200 align:middle line:90%


00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:05.620 align:middle line:90%
That was a very serious one.

00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:12.932 align:middle line:84%
This is-- I'll
explain to you later,

00:01:12.932 --> 00:01:14.890 align:middle line:84%
unless people want to
know what that was about.

00:01:14.890 --> 00:01:17.040 align:middle line:90%
OK, "Judas."
