Comedians are Funny. Make a Note.

The Correspondent’s Dinner was a hoot.
And that is all the news.  I still await
The verdict on the Chinaman, the fate
Of any terse relations, or the boot
That any new cooperation gets
When future talks are marred by Mr. Chen,
His reacquired voice, or many men
Crusading his release.  If any bets
Are off concerning harmony between
Beijing and shaky Washington, the man
May well have picked the future when he ran.
Or maybe I’m unfairly being keen
On finding future doom; you never know.
The dinner jokes were quite amusing, though.
