Taylor and Fillmore couldn’t stop the war
They never even really tried
two of the lesser known presidents didn’t pass the test of time
both major figures at the time
two years into a four year term
Old Zachary Taylor died
Old Rough and Ready ate a poisoned cherry
and it killed him at sixty five
Millard was a filler but he wasn’t the killer
everybody called him Vice
Taylor and Fillmore nobody cares for
names we don’t recognize
all of the lesser known presidents
Were major players in their time
But nothing really got accomplished
They just passed the problem down the line
Old Rough and Ready ate a poisoned cherry
and it killed him at sixty five
Millard was a filler but he wasn’t the killer
Now they didn’t call him vice
all of the lesser known presidents
led pretty colorful lives
It’s a shame we’ve forgotten them
They didn’t pass the test of time
