Tom Riley

New Names for a Non-Binary Nation

Ty Seidule

Ty Seidule has victory at last
Against the dead, whom fiercely he’s maligned.
A whole new set of base names is assigned.
The present can obliterate the past.
The heroes that he never would have sassed
Back when they rode for Dixie, steely-spined,
Titanic Ty can now, delighted, grind
Into the dust.  It happened really fast.
Behold:  progressive forces celebrate
Ty’s triumph over every Rebel name!
Greatness lies redefined – not by the great
But by the petty.  They pursue an aim
Too trivial for noble souls to state.
Dwight Eisenhower hangs his head in shame.
