Frank Rich

Ode To Frank

Of all the pompous asses who ever pomped their ass

Of all self-righteous dogma-thugs who ever mastered smug

Of all the swollen spewers of sneering calumny

None can touch that critic turned helium buffoon --

Fat frank-incensed Frank Rich

Liberal extraordinaire, yet extra ordinary

Opinionated to a fault, the fault’s in his opinions

Grinning Cheshire cat-like, drooling unctuous propaganda

Broadway baby-blabber – turned Father Sanctimony

Swank wankerer – Frank Rich

-- Reasoned discourse, hit the road – now gross exaggeration’s all the rage

-- Whole-truth sayers, adios -- now snake-soothsayers’ forked-tongues wag the dog

-- (Drop even deader Shakespeare – let Kushner’s lipped stick figures take the stage)

Rejoice, pure bullshit addicts; the pushers of agendas steer these Times!

And none can top that critic slash ax-grinder slash

I’ve-fallen-and-I-can’t-shut-up slash slash!

That frankly dank -- that richly rank -- that full-bore crank -- Frank Rich
