GUNGA DEAN

Rudyard Kipling's famous poem has these lines:

Yes, Din! Din! Din!
You Lazarushian-leather Gunga Din!
Though I've belted you and flayed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

An updated version, my spouse suggests, might be recited by Kerry and company after the primaries:

Yes, Dean! Dean! Dean!
You Vermont country doctor Gov'nah Dean!
Though I've baited you and cussed you,
By the livin' Gawd that made you,
You're a better man than I am, Gov'nah Dean!
