Yes, Professor Cohen I fear that you are right <br />And lack even in this quiet space <br />The courage to stand behind you as I should, <br />Too few our fellows knowing who Kennan was - <br />And the inadequacy of two paltry undergraduate semesters of Her history - <br />Knowing just enough to suspect how correct you are. <br />Noting how even Charlie danced around you <br />And my impression that George Ball seemed to sort of disappear <br />From a far less critical area of concern after the great council. <br />I can only say thank you for trying to alert us <br />To what some would call a limiting factor <br />And with sadness salute you that you would try <br />To save us from the day when we will weep.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yes-professor-cohen/
