Red Top Reality

There it is, the headline that kills

the truth in four column inches.

More pictures on page two

(**** opposite)


Perverts and politicians beware,

the righteous curers of all public ills 

have you in their telephoto sights

(Privacy not an option)


You're not a politician or a pervert?

What's the difference?

It's dirt, that's all that counts

(Take the money and run)
