Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Jon Stewart

TV Land won’t be the same
Without Jon Stewart’s face,
For he’s the one man on the air
That no one can replace.

With other newsmen slinking off
Because they’ve lost our trust,
“The Daily Show’s” lead anchor
Leaves all others in the dust.

When even those who’ve winced at jokes
He’s made at their expense
Express remorse at his departure,
Sadness must commence.

They’ll fill his seat and surely
He’ll do something else real soon,
But his announcement stuck a pin
In everyone’s balloon.
