Unprecedented

The televisions news reporters presented
a hodgepodge of stories a tad augmented
while they read one story they looked tormented
although they kept their wits as they lamented

One story was pretty intense as they vented
about how a dog had tracked down a body he had scented
apparently the poor man's tall sculpture wasn't properly cemented
no pictures we're shown as the deceased head was a bit dented

After watching all the news which was segmented
and the commercials which I resented
I couldn't help but feel very contented
as not once did they use the word unprecedented.

Such a smartly written poem, Che. Pointed and insightful. Your pen has a good way of revealing the human foibles we see everyday. Love and smiles.

Nicely written, Cheryl, as I read this I thought of the song "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley. Why don't the network ever show any good news, it's always bad and sensational. John
