George Washington, he criticized <br />As a general quite inept. <br />Then he later apologized, <br />And to himself, such thoughts he kept. <br />And even treated Washington <br />For varied ailments, which he bled, <br />Believing bleeding must be done. <br />Washington's death hastened, some said. <br />He was quite anti slavery, <br />Believed that blacks could be made white, <br />If cured of a skin leprosy. <br />Well intentioned, but was not right. <br /> <br />Dr. Benjamin Rush, his name, <br />Founding Father without the fame.<br /><br />Ima Ryma<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dr-benjamin-rush/
