SHIELDS AND BROOKS

  
                    There’s Mark and David on the Friday news
                     Prepared to give the week’s wrap-up reviews
                     As Judy prompts them from one topic to
                     Another to reveal what they pursue:
                     The motives and the circumstances of
                     What needs a clearer look from up above,
                     From the perspective of well-seasoned minds
                     Revealing what clear-eyed discernment finds.
                     These gentlemen may sometimes disagree,
                      But count on them to do so civilly
                      And with good humor as they reason out
                      The best way to transcend or settle doubt.
                      May they continue long on PBS
                      Applauded by us fans for their success.
