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.)

Room For One More...?

Is there  room on Mt. Rushmore  for  Donald...?  Should its quartet of  dudes  make some space...? Is there room on Mt. Rushmore  for Donald...
