“Gadol: Are you sure you didn’t go by the name Sammygol in one of the previous of your nine lives?”…
From Sammygol’s All-Time Best CR Posts (circa June 2008):
He got his nomination,
but how can a great nation,
without contemplation
at this historic station
at war and provocation
take a four year vacation
performing self-ablation?
The borders’ demarcation,
the runaway inflation,
the dollar’s deprecation,
the fiscal constipation,
the failing education,
the lack of expectation,
the overall stagnation,
the general frustration…..
What is the celebration,
why all the exclamation,
the shouts of elation,
without reservation?
Where is the trepidation
and thoughtful reservation?
As if by revelation
the whole population
avoids the obligation.
Deriving inspiration
from lack of information,
as if the obligation
of this new generation
is the lack of moderation.
Beyond imagination,
sans any explanation,
perhaps from desperation
with this administration,
or pure infatuation
with much anticipation
awaiting conflagration?
Where went the condemnation
of his affiliation?
Why give accommodation
to wishers of damnation?
Guilt by association?
Not quite – by emulation!
His wife’s vilification
of country’s obligation,
the lack of reveration
for homeland’s formation,
the bigots’ reveration,
the bland determination
to hold a conversation
with lowest of creation,
the knee-jerk adulation
of every aberration…
Perhaps the accusation
of old days’ segregation,
the feeling of relation
to Southern plantation,
with general sedation
of critical mentation,
lent votes’allocation
to Active Affirmation.
So playing integration
as if a compensation,
awaiting transformation,
swept up by his oration,
the super-delegation
gave us Obamination
