The dark days before People Magazine told us all we need to know about American celebrities

Jiggery, Pokery,

Abraham Lincoln did

Marry a woman they

Called Mary Todd.

Though Abe loved all of her

Idiosyncrasies,

Found her quite odd.

A germaphobe from Cedar Falls

Detested those little blue stalls.

Refusing to poo

In the portable loo,

He exploded and coated the walls.
