5 November 2012 - lest we remember

Jay Scott : Daily Whale : archive : 2012 : 5 November 2012

Truth of the marketplace, known by all,
Factoids seen past fog and bog,
Using which leaky pen we scrawl
Opinions about world and dog:
Lord host of talkshows, stay till November,
Lest we remember, lest we remember.

clue:

Parodying the opening of “Recessional” by Rudyard Kipling. November is of course U.S. election month.

God of our fathers, known of old—
Lord of our far-flung battle line—
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

etc.

take oh take this clue away
