The Paper

A day in the life of the Evening News Headline stories and various views Robson Green, stole the vicars wife I forgive him said the vicar, that's just life An aeroplane, is hit by a drone A girl is mugged for her mobile phone Two 14 year old kids, armed with knife Kill a husbands daughter and a husbands wife Three teenagers, burn a school down A sink hole opens, on the edge of town Six people hurt in a taxi crash The new red wonder boy is Marcus Rash Boy of ten died, at an Aldi store Vinyl returns to the record shop door Community garden trashed by teenage gang Car explodes at airport, amid a massive bang Loads of reporters, with loads to say But its all old old news, on the next new day

I no longer buy newspapers John - think your poem speaks volumes and sadly yesterday's news is so quickly forgotten and replaced by other tragedies in the world:-( hugs Jan xx7
