William White, when importuned by
A young Chinese boy to deny
He is just an American lib,
Looks contempt as—this is a fib
(A whopper; really)—Will shows
He’s one of the American intellectuals
Who see the world through history
Without bias and sentimentality.
While hitting keys with two fingers
Like playing wizardry, Will triggers
Rhetorically his indifference to victory
And aversion to the ‘worst’ presidency.
