Well, Truman found a profound latitude for Georgie's smirk of approval, validating his axiom GW (for Gershon, 'nay' George), Aloha wk

William, I just love that word, 'laxitude!' So many possibilities: Could rhyme it with lassitude (whatever that word means, LOL...Could use it for a bad case of diarrhea; LOL again…) Thanks for the creative comment!! :) gw

Another clever write Gerson - i know the Mona Lisa and her famous smile, but not knowing George Washington so well, don't know or noticed his smile - Ill look it up - but in God we trust, - great line and great Limerick. Hugs, Jennifer.

I think that if you gaze at the US Dollar, you'll notice the startling similarity between Washington's smile and Mona Lisa's. I'm trying to connect the dots there; so far I haven't. Any thoughts? … Thanks for the support, Jennifer! Best wishes, gw

Note G.W.'s sly grin, that Mona Lisa smile of his. Great comment, Michelle. Thank you so much. Warm wishes, Gershon
