Better stated, Ima: She is not nearly as well-versed as you.

Very clever, Ryma. Actually, we may be related–I married Notta Ryma.
She, of course, is not as nearly well-versed as you.

Poet Irwin cantered all out
On same old, same old politics
That from nineteen oh nine, no doubt
Still drag on – new names in the mix.
Taft was obese as President.
He got stuck in the White House tub.
Today, I’m not sure that the gent
Could get elected as a chub.
Reading the rhyme reassured me
I’m too lazy to do the work
Of searching out whole history.
A sonnet fits my rhymey quirk.

Thank you much for your homage paid.
This pleased sonneteer’s day you made.
