Sunday Matinee: Inauguration Poem Preview. Spoiler alert: It won’t rhyme

I don’t know what sort of quality control they had in Horace’s day, but I’m  pretty sure the Ars Poetica took more skill than simply writing a bad essay and calling it a poem.  Which happens to be  the standard of modern poetry and Elizabeth Alexander (Obama’s Inaugural Poet featured above).  Anyway, as even I am getting swept up in inauguration fever, I’d thought I’d attempt to honor Obama with a poetical form  almost as passé as straight marriage.
