PBS and NPR
Entertainment on TV
Or radio depends
On funding from the government
Or ads for private ends.
Both PBS and NPR,*
With Public in each name,
Provide such joy for tuners-in,
With years of much acclaim.
From children’s shows to orchestras
To journalists with news,
The varied offerings present
A host of different views.
Yet now an order has been signed -
I’ll let you guess by whom -
To end all public funding,
As these stations meet their doom.
To stop “woke propaganda”
By the “monsters” on the “left,”
This, instead, will damage children
And leave listeners bereft.
The only monster I can see
Is one who thinks he’s king
And every day I wonder
What new horror he will bring.
