Clowns Covering Clowns!

Clowns Covering Clowns!

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

The 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!"

That's what they're paid to do. If there isn't a non-story they'll make one up.

Yeah, I know you're right, and who's fault is that? Ours, apparently!
