[Charles Henrickson]

The White House had plans for the poet,
To honor his craft and to show it.
But the conf'rence, in terse,
Went from bad unto verse,
So the White House said, "Then we'll forego it."

[Jeff Chandler]

There once was a Bard from the Bay
Whose nation he bid to betray.
His heart was revealed
By his swish and his squeal
To be vicious, seditious, and gay.
