5 November 2012 - lest we remember

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

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.

give me a clue so sweet and true
