Herbert Hoover
Location
Herbert Hoover was his name
West Branch,IA is from where he came
the food administration was his thing
until he became 31st president of the USA
The Great Depression was no delay
it brought to much to dismay
the stockmarket crashed too bad
people now walk with a sad face
they should have realized there was no race
Hoover tried to stop the speculation
things went to fast into an accumulation
there was no time for sensation
working day and night in the drought
it was to tough to dig a way out
Every nickel,dime,dollar that he made
went to charity to fill lost days
he didn't want to make money
he worked what he had to fufill a country
With little success and so much debt
Hoover didn't want to fret
because before we knew
he didn't last through re-election 1932
the democrats pulled through
In the end he died in New York City
it had to be tragedy
living a past of misery
with noone left to feel his pity.
