Though there was no official poem for the occasion, impressionist Rich Little,
emceeing the Constitution Ball at the Hilton Washington, did provide a bit of
inaugural doggerel.
Little said he missed and adored the late
President Ronald Reagan and "I wish he was here tonight, but as a matter of fact
he is," and he proceeded to impersonate Reagan, saying, "You know, somebody
asked me, 'Do you think the war on poverty is over?' I said, 'Yes, the poor
lost.' " The crowd went wild.
Ha, ha, ha. It doesn't get any better than that.
