Hi, I came by to promote this, but I wonder how many readers know who Walt Whitman was or care about a 4-line poem. But if you were to mention Abraham Lincoln, it would have more hook interest IMO.

- Template:U: that’s much better for me- fwiw I think Whitman’s very well known, but the hook is objectively better with Lincoln in it. Thanks for coming up with this. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 19:43, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
