Benedictions/sermons of this genre are more about sound than content. All it’s supposed to do is rhyme, and it did that. Whatever. Frankly, it was a whole lot better than that lame poem Elizabeth Alexander recited. That was truly awful and the timing couldn’t have been worse. Obama had just gotten done with his big pep talk, and had the crowd all revved up about how we’re all going to work together going to make America greater than ever . . . and then the immediate future turned out to be that ultra-lame, embarrassingly bad poem.

Really, what else did you expect from this crowd?

Elizabeth Alexander. She thinks having a conversation with herself is “poetry”

Musta been a Vogon...

Vogons

Vogons are extremely ugly, extremely officious, and generally not much fun to be around.
They emerged from the seas of the planet Vogsphere, and gave up on evolving there and then.
Only their stubbornness allowed them to survive.

They generally become bureaucrats in the galactic government.
Their unpleasant demeanour makes them ideally suited to such employment.

One such Vogon is Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz, of the Vogon Constructor fleet.
Having destroyed the Earth in order to make way for a hyperspace bypass, he then proceded to read some of his poetry to two helpless victims.

It is hard to hitch lifts on Vogon ships - it is only made possible by the Dentrassi cooks employed by Vogon fleets.

Unlike the poem?
