Gore and Bush and John McCain, and Bradley, Keyes and Forbes
Had gathered to give the folks a glance at their intellectual orbs
But when it came to the pickle test, the fray was badly fought
All their gherkins totalled up made far less than one watt

Of all the reindeer in Santa's herd, there's little said of Tony
His antlers lacked the proper length, his legs were thin and bony
But when the Christmas Blizzard came, and skies were bleak and gray
They stuck old Tony in the front and his pickle led the way!
