Senator Smoot Rides Again

From Making Light, a bit of timeless poetry:

Senator Smoot (Republican, Ut.)
Is planning a ban on smut.
Oh, rooti-ti-toot for Smoot of Ut.
And his reverent occiput.
Smite, Smoot, smite for Ut.,
Grit your molars and do your dut.,
Gird up your l–ns,
Smite h-p and th-gh,
We’ll all be Kansas
By and by.

–Ogden Nash, “Invocation,” 1931
