Buzzfeed

here comes the buzz
here comes the feed
don't bother with facts
there's really no need

if you're looking for stories
to sensationalize
if you need entertainment
just fill it with lies

and where we are going
is anyone's guess 
as we fill in the byline
with anonymous

saying we heard it from sources 
we can not confirm
but it still is our hope
you believe every word

though you may have your doubts
about what you just read
we've still placed that thought
inside of your head


I know I'm supposed to be off till the end of January but there's too many juicy current events to rhyme about! Plus I'm a wimp!
