Courageous Remote Hand!A Poem by Michael Stevens'16 presidential race; courage!
My remote hand is the most courageous
hand I know
It boldly leads my eyes where
they're scared to go
Changing channels with reckless
abandon;
To cable news shows who cover the
political cons
And I'll tell you, it's soon going
to take all the bravery it's got,
Cause the '16 presidential race
will not
Be any fun to behold; if the '08 and
'12 races are any judge
Seems every election brings claims
much more outlandish, such
Ludicrous charges back and forth;
and everyone's an expert
"Next, we'll ask Ben Harpoon
about the claim the Lady Ga-Ga may have hurt
Her presidential hopes by saying
she's not going to run,
When conventional wisdom (according
to us!) says she's not done
Thinking about it yet; and we'll
have an exclusive report
On the deep hidden meaning of her
'no' claim, and sort
Out all the gossip about other
presidential hopefuls;
Never fear viewers, we'll get down
to below
Common sense level to preposterous
just for you!
So stay tuned to us, no matter what
you do!"
"All the news that's fit to
air, or keep the viewer glued
to our network around the clock." Dude;
See how brave my hand will soon
have to be?
No, brave would be the off button,
so I wouldn't have to see!
