FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE POETRY THAT RHYMES,
EAT YOUR HEART OUT
In tomorrow’s New York Times,
There’s a book review that rhymes,
A new book by a “deadline poet,”
Written in verse right up to the minute,
On the two thousand eight election
In a country seeking a new direction.
Calvin Trillin is the poet’s name
Writing verse on Palin he did proclaim:
“On Russia’s being not too far away
She sounded eerily like Tina Fey.”
If you are one of those who believe
Poetry without rhyme makes one heave
Then run out this week for a copy
And settle down with a glass of brandy
Deciding the Next Decider:
The 2008 Presidential Race in Rhyme
by Calvin Trillin
