What to do about news fakers
We seek them here ,
We seek them there,
These will-of-the wisps that quickly disappear,
Only to reappear again to whisper into a different ear,
These clever sods who can make anything appear real,
Unable to comprehend that it is in harm they deal.
I think we need a bigger net,
That has not been invented yet,
Maybe it is time to call in a vet.
And when they are finally caught,
Pay their room and board,
Until we be sure they are no longer bored,
And we have found a use for their skills,
That pays their bills,
Without the need to bend the ears of other to their will,
Til they no longer ask 'is it real',
And see no reason to look outside their window,
To verify they are watching the fall of actual snow.
