What a President Does

My granddaughter asked what a president does;

I thought it a really great query.

She’d heard talk of war and amidst all the buzz

She was feeling a little bit feary.

 

It’s hard to explain to a child who is six

What a president’s job is because

Each example I gave she would somehow just nix

Since she’d no understanding of laws.

 

But I did what I could to make some of it clear

Though she couldn’t grasp onto it fully

Yet of presidents, one thing I know she did hear

Was that one, but not ours, is a bully.
