Broken News!

The endless depression that is cable news!

You’re watching the headlines, when

 

"Breaking news, unbelievable news; you’ve just got to see!"

 

It’s so important, that we interrupt our string of commercials

 

If you need a new car or need relief from a headache,

 

We’re terribly sorry, but this news is breaking,

 

And we’ve just got to show you, so we’re sure you’ll understand

 

Once you see this and realize just how urgent this is!

 

It’s so important, we’ll leave the ‘breaking news’ banner

 

Up for many hours after everyone, unless they live in Antarctica,

 

Has seen plenty of times; in fact, you’ll grow to despise

 

Seeing it over and over; we run it on an endless loop,

 

 Until you’ll be looking for a tall ladder and a short rope

 

So you can escape seeing it yet-again; yes, it’s mind-numbing,

 

But breaking!
