We're ALL Agaga Now

     If 
Aga Khan (Allah be praised!) is now Agaga Khan,
     is Ba-
lenciaga now Balenciagaga...? Go on!

     That 
creature from the Black Lagoon’s now from the Lagagoon,
     while 
Dag’s become Dagaga Hammarskjold. (How opportune!)

     E-
lena’s now Kagagan. Twist’s Jew Fagan’s now Fagagan,
     and Gad-
dafi’s Gagaddafi (No, he’s not "Menagam" Begin.)

     Sure, 
Hagar still is horrible, though now’s Hagagar call'd.
     Icelandic 
sagas...? All sagagas now. (Like you, I’m so-o-o-o appall’d.)

     Jag-
gagar and Jaggagers Mick and Pip’s attorney are,
     while Kage-
musha’s Gagamusha. (It’s a shi-shi sushi bar.)

     Look how
Lady Gagadiva now’s become Godiva’s handle.
     Where’s Ma-
nagua...? Nicaraguaga! (Recall that Contra scandal...?)

Nagasaki’s Gagasaki. (Which did Truman bomb...?)
     And those
"Oh-My-Gaga" messages on iPhones bug my mom.

     Now
Puff’s the Magagic Dragagon. (That's quite hard to say.)
     And, like Qui-
roga’s Quirogaga, Uruguay’s Uruguagay.

     Rags
Ragland’s Ragagas Ragagaland, which few would credit.
     And
Sagamore Sagagamore’s become. 'Tis true: I read it.

     Fort
Ti’s Fort Ticondarogaga (upper New York State).
     We love U-
ganda now as Ugaganda; Idi we still hate.

     Vi-
agra or Viagraga...? Each one should do the trick. 
     Let’s
watch the film Wagag the Dog. (I still don’t get that flick.)

     Let’s
dance to Xavier Cugagat; he’s still the Rhumba King.
     And
Yuri Gagagarin is, in Moscow, still the thing.

Sari, renamed Zsa Zsa, now’s re-renamed Gagabor.
     (I fear I’d
faint were I to annotate one single ‘gaga’ more.)

Losts & Founds: An ABC
