I was taught to be stolid when sizing up an adversary who doesn’t know that is not my “real” personality-it has paid off many times...
If Obama practiced being stolid
Instead of going off on a tear
Maybe he’d actually make sense,
And he’d certainly be more aware
Of all that stifled laughter
From every leader who hears
The words that point to having
A blank space between the ears
As he puts his mouth in gear
Before he engages his brain-
Every leader either laughs
Or decides that he is insane...
