Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Guess Who?

James Madison, the President,
Was barely over 5 feet tall.
So often, wherever he went,
No one noticed him there at all.
He vetoed walking in on stilts,
Or being carried up on high.
But what to do about the jilts
Of those who did not see the guy?
First Lady Dolly saved the day.
Some new music she did select.
"Hail to the Chief" a band would play,
And all would know to show respect.

"Hail to the Chief" - James Madison.
Most likely he's the shortest one.
