JUNE
25, 2004 --
An
article in The Washington Post, by Philip Kennicott, June
20, discussed the leftist doggerel of Calvin Trillin and the conservative
doggerel of William H. von Dreele. The New York Sun reported,
June 21, that U.S. Judge Guido Calabresi, of the Second Circuit,
in public remarks, sharply criticized the decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the 2000 Florida presidential voting case,
and effectively called for the defeat of President Bush, this November.
These articles prompted some doggerel from this writer, which here
follow:
Doggernet
Calvin
Trillin is usuall willin’
to consume conservatives as cold meal
Me, I prefer, and would quickly defer
to, the deft rhymes of William H. von Dreele
My
own doggerel is worthless
I get nada for this “lieder”
Whether or not it's mirthless
Depends on who is the reader
And
so no hundred bucks to me
