Clowns Covering Clowns!A Poem by Michael StevensThe greatest show on T.V!![]() "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome
to the greatest show on T.V. Our reporters are clowns, the best
clowns you'll ever see. Who better to report on clowns,
than other clowns? And who else can secretly smile,
while appearing to frown?
Our talking heads are masters of
keeping a story alive, long after reasonable people see
the story as contrived. And our clowns don't know the
meaning of the phrase 'beat a dead horse', cause they're
only in search of praise.
With blinders on, they doggedly
pursue the story. They seek to shock, and focus on
the gory. That has replaced actual news as
the goal. Yes, there's a couple okay dudes,
but not on the whole!
So sit back and enjoy the show from
our ball-juggling entertainers, they can keep any
story in the air, bling and shiny objects keep their noses
to the grindstone, covering a non-story long after
people's interest has flown!"
