Fill in the Ruts and Straighten the Kinks

There once was a wise and merciful ruler, a President.   Yes, I know that it is hard to believe, but rest assured that there once was, in that long ago-time that some can still remember.  And the President, through The National Endowment for the Arts offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. This President wished to inspire the many partners we had, who did not know peace—The Northern Irish and the British, The Pakistanis and the Indians, the Israelis and the Saudi’s.
