Me metaphorin'? Ain't got a clue What metaphorin' is Or how to drop the other shoe, For malapropin' is what they say I say and rue. Me malapropin'? Who's ribbon who? Perhaps I'm tongue tried, But Poppy says that's what we do, That malapropin' can deep-end a point of view. Ain't it plainer? A no-brainer? A Sunday laugher For William Gaffer? I'm on the third rail Of once-upon-a-time-like misconstruin'. Me neologin'? Ain't no disputin' No matter what our Karen says, We Bushies failed at evolutin', But we're still swingin' in our fam'ly tree. * NY Times - 2/6/05 William Safire - "Metaphor Madness"
