Sorry, David, do excuse me. In fact, it's beautifully done and I feel very stupid. Even the triolet form by itself should have told me. I'll keep my big mouth shut in future. I'd cancel my post if there weren't your answer to expose my dumbness in any case.
The "My Triumph" is very fine too.
In an attempt to redeem my reputation, let me suggest that the initials for Frank's "Alterable Haze Index" are E.A., and the poem being parodied was first heard on January 20th.
