Hatchet and Axe.

oh. for the hatchet Washington
Swung in his early youth
To blazon on a cherry tree
The triumph Of the truth.
oh, for the axe that Lincoln used
To chop his way to fame.
And hew upon the wallis Of Time
His own immortal name.
In old forgotten woodsheds both
Are buried in the dust
OF chips and debris. and their steel
Is long resolved TO rust.
But lol we need them badly now
To cut away the weight
OF weeds and barnaclos that hang
Upon the ship Of state.
