He wrote "All men are created equal"
But he forgot to add the sequel
"... unless they are slaves at Monticello."
Thoughts of despots he abandoned
But he bought a chunk of land single-handed
-- Louisiana Purchase --
He was a paradox and a complicated fellow.
He's got the historians all fussin'
The revisionists all cussin'
But he's my distant cousin
So I'll cut him some slack.
