The Lyin’ King speaks in a macaronic goulash of Ebonics, Jive, “Legalese”, and avuncular Communist Rhetoric, depending upon his audience

[ConorMacNessa]

Ezra Pound, demented Fascist that he was, was a master of macaronic verse. Macaronic verse was also employed to effect by T.S. Eliot in The Waste Land", among other works:

"I sat upon the shore Fishing, with the arid plain behind me
Shall I at least set my lands in order?
London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down
Poi s'ascose nel foco che gli affina
Quando fiam ceu chelidon - O swallow swallow
Le Prince d'Aquitaine a la tour abolie
These fragments I have shored against my ruins
Why then Ile fit you. Hieronymo's mad againe.
Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata.
Shantih
shantih shantih."

No contemporary poet, IMHO, can hold a candle to either one of them.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Macaronic: Doing something stupid with pasta.

In the macaronic Twitter speak the battle is in full swing. Hilary Rosen attacked Ann Romney saying she “has not worked a day in her life”. Ann joined the Twitter world saying she raised 5 boys and it was work. The Twitter war was on. Just now, Michelle Obama joined the fray defending motherhood. Hilary was thrown under the bus. 35 visits to the White House, notably more than even the CIA director. First David Axelrod dumped her, now the First Lady. Give it up Hilary, all you did was unite us with the Romneys.

I’m hungry. Does the Macaronic Grill deliver?
