Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Truman Balcony

Along with the White House redo,
Harry Truman wanted to make
A balcony to be used to
Replace awnings for shading sake
Over the Blue Room windows, since
Those awnings just collected dirt,
An eyesore that made Harry wince.
"Build that baby," he did assert.
Opponents did not like the plan,
And warned Truman that he would lose
For being such a stubborn man.
Truman ignored them and their views.

It came from his presidency,
And called the Truman Balcony.
