Like Ferlinghetti, I Am Waiting

I am waiting for 60 Minutes to run out the clock and I am waiting for Old Media to request end-of-life counseling and I am waiting for NASA to announce an imminent extinction event and I am waiting for the FCC to scrap its plan to monitor thought waves And I am really waiting for someone to interrupt Bill O’Reilly I am waiting for Wolf Blitzer to screw up one morning and shave and I am waiting for GM to admit the Volt was not grounded in reality and I am waiting for Madonna to say she’s mad as hell and she’s not gonna shake it anymore and I am waiting for a priest, a rabbi, and a mullah to walk into a bar And I am really really waiting for the day when humor is color-blind Inspired by the poem I Am Waiting by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, from A Coney Island of the Mind (1958)
