from one of the original newspoets, Calvin Trillin (I presume this 
appeared in The Nation, but whoever forwarded it to me did not 
include bibliographic data)

>So after the excitement fades,
>We end up with the norm:
>Both candidates are regulars
>Who say they're for reform.

>Well, maybe both have seen the light
>And understand now why
>The flow of money must be stanched.
>And maybe pigs can fly.
