b) Today's Offering (Dec 26, 2024):
This collection of verses constitutes a trio of imperialistic nonsense. To see the first verse, you will have to return to the blogpost of December 16, "Don-tinental Unification - 'fifty-first' ".
Authors' Note: This verse, along with Canal Zone (to follow) and fifty-first (preceding) constitutes a trilogy of diplomatic nonsense.
As of 2024, Greenland, with population of 56,000, is an autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark.
Authors' Note: Late in 2024, the incumbent US president turned his attention from Canada, a friendly neighbour that he had threatened with massive tariffs, dangling the possibility of a sort of "Anschluss".
His sudden announcement that "excessive" shipping fees across the Panama Canal were a matter of vital national US interest was accompanied by threats to retake control of the Canal Zone, a region that had been under sole Panamanian control since 1979.
The author of the above poem in his prior work acclaim had discussed the role of President Theodore Roosevelt (T.R.) in construction of the Panama Canal, therein revealing the neo-palindrome A man, a plan, if final — Panama.
