Bad News Clip

I opened my email list
and was quickly surprised to learn,
from Allison and Tim

A BIT OF BAD NEWS:
Some bad news, Gerald,
Senator Murphy is short...

I didn't bother to open it up 
to read the entire message
because I know the Senator is taller than most of us
even when both feet are firmly planted
on his platform floor.

I'm sure I would remember Allison and Tim
if we were on a first name basis
And
I know fake news
when I almost see it.
