| Sarah Palin crashed a fish fry in Wisconsin last night and got a cold reception when she blathered disjointedly about the “disaster” of US immigration policy. Palin noted that the “seriousness” of the crowd was appropriate at this stage of the election cycle and added, “At least they didn’t boo.” Some have noted that in her rambling remarks she took a swing at conservative pundit Glenn Beck for visiting the Southern U.S. border in 2014 to deliver tractor-trailers full of food, water, teddy bears and soccer balls to underage refugees. However, in reality, she was actually quoting a poem by Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson’s third cousin, twice removed – at her request). |  |
Dickinson, a political visionary, wrote a poem in the late 1800s where he foretold the relationship between Palin and Trump, “’You Betcha” – What a Message” (below on the left). His poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem “Go tell it' – What a Message” (below on the right).
| By Emmett Lee Dickinson: “You Betcha” – What a Message – To whom – is specified – A shriek – of endorsement – And simply – she – obeys – Obeys – not Lured – by Baskets Of Teddy Bears and Soccer Balls – none of this – From Trump – said sweet Sarah Palin She gave her roguish Grin – | By Emily Dickinson: "Go tell it" – What a Message – To whom – is specified – Not murmur – not endearment – But simply – we – obeyed – Obeyed – a Lure – a Longing? Oh Nature – none of this – To Law – said sweet Thermopylae I give my dying Kiss – |
Of course, one can’t help but wonder what Trump has promised Palin for her endorsement if he is elected. A post in his cabinet to head up the Department of Education? Defense? The Treasury? Palin denies, though, that Trump has promised her gift baskets of teddy bears and soccer balls.
