A Pun-Filled Dedication - John Lewis

A story presented of a Civil Right's Icon in a creative pun-filled poem to add a sense of humor to the serious, life-changing experiences of this kind man.

An emblem of honesty and non-violence

Who’s never caught with pants on fire.

Protector of even his friendly chickens,

To watchdog outside, not in a lair.

Whenever injustice hung as stained glass,

A new legislature would come to play.

Despite all of the White people’s harass,

His perseverance shined each day.

A most daring, numerous united task

Demonstrated on the famous Bloody Sunday.

Policemen defied and attacked on blast

Baton-cracked opunned skulls almost deadly.
