McKinley By Any Other Name Would Still Be As Steep
Ohio’s in denial
Of Denali’s new old name,
But Alaska never asked ya
To the mountain-naming game.
McKinley? Well, to win he
Had to but be nominated—
And he didn’t visit it an’
Then he got assassinated.
As best as I have guessed,
Appeals will only meet denial;
So Denali’s name will prolly
Be Denali for a while—
Till plenty-a millennia
Have rolled on by and then…
Some politician gets his wish an’
Claims it once again.
