'Tis noted that some media at times express divisive and jaundiced views!
Hence, such inane twaddle has reputedly become known as fake gnus!
(Written with considerable tongue in cheek and with profuse apologies
to the innocent African antelope known as a gnu!)
The gnu who knew knew not the gnu who knew the good gnus

No gnus is good gnus... heard that before?
A bit of a twist but youse guys know the score
A wee departure
Language is a starter
Embellishment expands our lust to explore
No gnus is good gnus... heard that before?
A bit of a twist but youse guys know the score
A wee departure
Language is a starter
Embellishment expands our lust to explore
One day, two young gnus moved onto the plain.
The two gnus were new gnus to our old neighborhood.
When we heard the news of new gnus around
We feared that the news of the gnus was no good.
But young gnus grow old, and old news grows stale--
The gnus knew which paths they should choose.
There's no more to report at the end of this tale,
For you know that good gnus are no news.
