Dave Koch Is Too Scotch?
(Did Dave accidentally end up honororing Ed?)

Dave Koch can't pronounce his name like a native New Yorker.
Properly pronounced, according to Ed, Koch rhymes with crotch.
Is David embarrassed or was his daddy?
Dictionaries would have told them, or are they too Scotch?

What would his daddy think of spending on other than Stainmaster rugs?
Would he have approved of financing the ballet instead,
And a center for culture that had been named for Lincoln
Until Dave dropped a bundle and renamed it for Ed?

As the years go by and we forget who Dave was
We'll think of big Ed when we think of the center
Unless David springs for a non-stop recording
That shouts "Koch rhymes with Coke" everytime that we enter.
