Those Checkout Line Tabloids

Those Checkout Line Tabloids By Elton Camp Yellow journalism is still easy to find It’s right there when you stand in line Their only purpose is to make them sell And don’t mind if some big lie they tell They may attack one who’s underground For with a lawyer he can’t come around To call for proof what they said is true Or to demand damages that they’ll rue Yet the living are not entirely immune And their integrity tabloids may impugn The tabloid may to vile trickery resort Inside say the headline is a false report As if a victim of slander they do defend To set things straight is all they intend This type of journalism would disappear If to it, the public would never come near If tempted to buy one, please think again Supporting them makes scoundrels win
