Twas froznatch in the Hampton shire
When Banderdash did sally forth
And all the citiwhenish mob did come inspired
In from the whirling snoggloombroth.
The Churchmugeonfolk were there in force
But some hobbitfolk as well
The mediator fully cloaked did burble to the stageysource
And then the vocalwags did in chorus swell.
Oh, do not wrest our rightful tithe!
From our Drumhum school
We have stole it fair and squaresythe
Through, uffish, whiffling and deep murky pool.
And Banderdash did finally rise
And spoke of Jefferson in mome beamish wisdom
But, oh the Churchmugeonfolk did despise
The Banderdash's vorpal sword, dripping in lawyerishsom.
Mightily did Banderdash swing and smite and sizzle
Through all that uffish tugley snipe in which resentment did drizzle.
Do not tell us, rathoutgrabe, how to rapeplundersizzle
Our own towntreasureglade which Godabove did us mizzle
To our fairishshuff church, forsooth, and schoolbizzle.
And thus did Banderdash in defeat slugchurlishly on home
While galumphing out went the Churchmugeonfolk aglome
And Calooh! Callay! Oh frabjous day!
The townmuggles did wardubble
We have won again!
And Jefferson and Banderdash are laid back in their woozy puddle!
With apologies to Lewis Carroll and Jabberwocky
