There once was a pundit on Night,
Who leapt to defend with great might:
“If names don’t align,
With statues divine,
That logic just can’t be quite right!”

Said Abby, with eyebrow arched high,
“Suppose future Dems give a try—
Rename with a whim,
Slap Clinton on him—
Would that make you cheer or cry ‘why’?”

He scoffed at the thought, unimpressed:
“A mismatch like that? It’s a mess!
To name what’s not true
Would make quite the to-do—
A choice not exactly the best.”

She smiled, then delivered the key:
“That’s Congress’s call, you see.
The Center you cite
Was named by law’s might—
So irony’s plain as can be.”
