In ’96 poor Forbes was thought To be less zealous than he ought To be on things like baby-killing. So now he’s showing that he’s willing To say whatever wackos say He ought to say to win the fray. He’s changed his hair. He’s tried to change That speaking style that seemed so strange. His will to change is indisputable, But dorkiness is quite immutable.
