From the politically inclined poet, Calvin Trillin

For "Obama" there are obvious rhymes, especially "Osama." But you rhymed "Obama" with "Yokohama." How did you manage that?

I also used "Cinerama." But I don't think I've ever used the best one, which is "Slap yo' mama." I've only heard it in Louisiana. It's often used to speak about food—like "you taste this étoufée, you'll go home and slap yo' mama."


I love great art, no matter the medium.
