Ode to Katie Couric

Thanks to Katie
I must say
because without her
we may not have this day
What she did was
what she was supposed to;
She asked a question or two
of Palin you see.
Easy questions, even for you and me.
About Russia we learned
one could see from Alaska
and that was all it takes
to make one an expert
(of the self-claimed variety)
in international affairs.
As a result of those questions,
we, the public, properly assessed
the depth and character and
the claims, no less, of the person
chosen to be a heart beat tick
from controlling our national destiny.
So thanks to Katie Couric.
