The Paper That Guards

The paper that Guards

The newspaper I read in the morning was rather tame,
irate lemmings in Norway cheeky monkeys in Thailand  
and deforestation that is not as bad as we imagined,
there will always be a tree somewhere in a park.
A sour written article that was supposed to be witty 
about Trumps last days, showed ill will by the writer.
Not much to write about in this pandemic, even pest 
gets tedious when mentioned too often.
I think this is pre- Christmas nerves or it has started 
by the staff who don´t want to go home to a tree,
a wife and two unruly children.
Whatever it must not let the guard slip as it did when
first publishing Assange then throwing  at him.
