I did my yakking today, and a fat lot of good it did me.  It's someone else's turn.

A toast to Rene Auberjonoisís (pronounced, with a wave of his arm, Aber-John-wah!)

Odo in St:DS9, Fr. Mulcahy in the movie MASH, and other roles.

Many years ago, there was a contest based on DS9, in 10 cities, where the winner would get a trip to Hollywierd, Paramount Studios, lunch at Planet Hollywood with Rene Auberjonoisís and Armin Shimmerman (Quark on DS9), and some other stuff. I won in Boston. So my description of the pronunciation is based in his version. Did see Terry Farrel (Jadzia Dax), but it completely slipped my mid to say "Hello, old man" when she touched my badge.

Well, he was a big cheeseball, and his first name was Rennet (well, close).

As a changeling, he could have appeared as one, but then, he would have been Parmejonois.

Imagine we live under socialism
It's easy if you try
Just look at Venezuela
Where the people starve and die

Imagine all is your country's
It isn't hard to do
Nothing they won['t kill for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living for the state

You may say AOC's a dreamer
And Bernie Sanders, too
Someday you'll be forced to join us
And we can starve all as one

Imagine no possessions
The state takes all it can
Nothing left for greed; just hunger
Enslaved is every man
Imagine all the leaders taking all they can

You may say Liz Warren's a dreamer
And Bernie Sanders, too
Someday you'll be forced to join us
And we can starve all as one

I want to applaud, but I have to point out that your use of "...too" with "...one" in the third and fifth stanzas does violence to the format/rhyme scheme of the original.  

Forgive my pointing this out, and please take it merely as an urge to rewrite in this small area.
