More from Loud-Talking Heads

a slightly cynical look at the evening news

Tonight, in the battle

Of the loud-talking heads

Millions of people

Let the batteries

In their hearing-aids go dead

Just so they could avoid

Wondering, once they're annoyed

If a one-time-dose of lead

Would be more pleasant instead

Of more from loud-talking heads

Would it be more pleasant

To just be gratefully dead
