Cold Wind Blowing

The media blizzard

 

 

Teeth chattering, pull the coat tighter, seeking shelter

 

From the storm that's raging; yet you're fighting a losing battle

 

There is no refuge from nothing but the bad news

 

Showing on every news channel, at the same time

 

The reporters take a glimmer of hope and crush it,

 

Along with you, in an effort to keep you tuned in

 

After commercials for erectile dysfunction pills and

 

Being as gross and crude as possible while

 

You're trying to eat, they are back with all

 

The gloom and doom that they've deemed

 

Important, important enough to show over

 

And over, while 'experts' make sure you know

 

There's never been a time more dangerous;

 

That we're right on the precipice; and one wrong move will

 

Spell disaster; and then, just to heighten the drama,

 

And for their more clueless viewers, they spell disaster!

And that's why I con't watch news or commercials. I especially do't wwatch reality shows. To me disaster is spelled "Honey Boo-Boo."

Agreed, 'Honey Boo-Boo;' television for idiots!
