Verse I
Memorizing presidents is gonna take some effort
We'll start with George Washington, Adams, and Thomas Jefferson
Then James Madison and James Monroe
Then John Quincy Adams like his father before
Next up we've got some interesting folks
Named Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, and Polk
The next four presidents that we'll examine
Are Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, and Buchanan

HuffingtonPost reports, "In an honest but funny (and by funny I mean hilarious to my 12-year-old self) mistake, CNN's Zain Verjee got tongue tied when talking about airline peanuts and used the term "airline penis" instead."
During a German television song contest (akin to "American Idol") a sequin-clad male host was standing next to his female counterpart ready to announce the latest contestant scores and said, "The two most beautiful points, from my beautiful Czech colleague Susanne, remain here..."
Huffington reports, "The doors to the woman's flight had already closed, so Cathay Pacific wouldn't let her board. As a result she threw a three-minute tantrum screaming, "I want to go, I want to go" in Cantonese. Her original flight was bound for San Francisco, the airline said it put her on a later flight to Los Angeles."
It turns out she was trying to see her sister who was serously ill.
