Election Year Jabberwocky
Frank Jacobs

Walter Cronkite
'Twas '80, and the Carter Bush
Did Kennedy the Brown campaign;
All Reagan was the Baker push,
And Connally did Crane.

Jimmy Carter
Inflation must be trebulized;
We dare not wivvet, dwirt, or zeer;
When teckled smorts ask, "Will you glortz?"
Our answer should be clear.

George Bush
The Middle East defloins with dridd,
With OPEC steeching day by day;
Unsneezed, we'll dworp Khomeini's norp,
Despite what others say.

Ted Kennedy
What price atomic bandersnatch
When frangled by the smiggy grote?
I say, "Let's gorch with no more slorch";
This statement you may quote.

Jerry Brown
It's time we sneckled energy;
Our gribbish freems won't vleet away;
As Lincoln said, "To glinch is ned;"
It still makes sense today.

Ronald Reagan
I duzzlekate most lomishly
With those who zunk this nurgled land;
To them I say, "The gleek will snay!"
You'd think they'd understand.

Howard Baker
Grave questions glip us as we streep;
Will Brezhnez jub the frammissoo?
Will Arabs grot and snurb Sadat?
I'll leave it up to you.

John Connally
To ablovate the Soviets
Seems noggled breep, a greemish task;
What's nurg with SALT? It's smung with gralt!
I thought you'd never ask.

Philip Crane
What glop defense when cities snerve,
When farmers driddle wiffishly;
Our unemployed are sneep and floyed;
On this we all agree.

Alfred E. Neuman
And when the final gleek was flort,
Just two remained to zorch and vame,
Which makes no diff'rence anyhow,
'Cause each one sounds the same!
