After his childhood leg surgery for osteomyelitis (then thought as typhoid), Joseph Smith, Jr. had a hirple. (So do salt-water crocodiles — whose habitats are salt-water wetlands — also lose salt through their tongues?)
Adams and Jefferson were friends, then enemies, then friends again. After their respective presidencies, from 1812 on, they struck up a long correspondence, exchanging 158 letters. Adams’s final words were simply, “Thomas Jefferson survives.” Unbeknownst to Adams, in Massachusetts, five hours earlier, Jefferson had passed away in Virginia.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams passed away on the same independence day, July 4th, 1826. James Monroe passed away on July 4th, 1831.

But when they cry crocodile tears, they would be salty.

Roses are red
Violets are purple
And sugar is sweet
Just like maple syrple

How is limping not awkward? I’m going to replace limping with hirpling.
Added comment. Spell check doesn’t recognize hirple as a word.

Most people don’t seem to know what Independence Day is, they call it by the date it’s observed.

They say roses are red and violets are purple
And sugar’s sweet and so is maple syrple
Well I’m seventh out of seven sons
My pappy was a pistol, I’m a son of a gun
I said dang me, dang me
They oughta take a rope and hang me
High from the highest tree
Woman would you weep for me?

How about Silver and Orange? And who decided to make colors so hard to rhyme?

Two obscure words? Are there any common words that rhyme with “purple”?

Well, it’s a strange way to honor the holiday, but I guess you can’t get much more independent than dying…

I also imagine that the old-timers used to curple their disobedient kids…
