At ASU they agree
Not to confer a degree
On their speaker at commencement
The USA's first black president.
For this the U. faces opprobrium
Their own Pres accused: Racist bum!
And can they mean it when they say
It's because Obama has yet to find his way?
But the criticism is much too hard
Obama's already degreed at Harvard
And at Columbia as well
Degrees just don't get more swell.
With his degrees so very pedigreed
ASU rightly feels of theirs he has no need.
