[Vision2020] "Kim Davis" by Calvin Trillin

[Scott Dredge]

I'm typically underwhelmed by Calvin Trillin, but find this one to be head and shoulders above any of his others.  It's much longer than most of his poems and every line is spot on.  Did anyone see the video of the Kim Davis rally?  Oddly enough there were no misspellings that I detected on the signs of her many uneducated supporters.
