Analysis of John Glenn



John Glenn is a hero,
like George Washington.
John Glenn orbited the earth,
like George Washington won the war.
John Glenn did it for his country,
like Geroge Washington did.
John Glenn has done it,
like George Washington did it.
John Glenn will always be a hero,
like George Washington is.
