The Day Cnn Shut Down

If only love happened round the world That would be a pretty slow news day Actually CNN would have to shut down No “JUST IN” bulletins, per se Weather reports predict nothing but sunshine Temperatures high in the 80s People goin' round wearing dirty big grins Things all coming up daisies Wake up, wake up, my real good friends Time to rise and start your day Don't try watching the morning news CNN has shut down they say No point in broadcasting only good news Boring and humdrum for sure Imagine watching nothing but jubilation It would sure bore one to the core Wake up, wake up, my good friend Jack Seems you were having too good a time You had a great big smile on your kisser If only real life was so sublime

I know! Just yesterday I thought, turning on the news, well, how many died today? Look at the audiences our greatest muckrakers bring! So much money! Elizabeth

Ah, for sure. I have given up on the 24/7 news cycle blather. I haven't the foggiest notion of what's going on in the world, and I am happier about it. My idea of news is tell me what happened and let me make up my own mind about it. Just the who, what, when, where, and, maybe, why!

You and me both my friend! Whatever has happened or is going to happen is of no interest to me! It's all a bunch of crap anyway!

Good advice - leave the TV off until you're ready to be in a bad mood! Enjoyed, Jack!
