Channel Five calls mayoral candidate Goots a bully.
He is referred to as the AntiChrist on Channel Three
Someone on the air yells “liar, liar, pants on fire.”
This is the best news we find on our 2023 TV.
Channel 9 brings in an alert. with a gasp and a shout.
Stay away from your windows, a shooter is out.
The news anchor of NBC2 is lying on the sidewalk, laid out.
She has probably been shot, is there any doubt?
Hello worldly watchers, welcome to American TV
Where the lies are plenty, and carnage is brutally carefree
Facts don’t mean anything to our anchors any more.
You can purchase alternative facts at the store next door.
The hillbillies in the south only listen to their one station.
They don’t even bother with news when on vacation.
The haughtiest rich ones in the north don’t believe anything at all.
A shooter? No worries. There will be more in the fall.
Besides, it might be a rumor. We like to throw stuff up quick.
buying into rumors, lies, and gossip, we Americans lay it on thick.
Chet Huntley and David Brinkley would have a huge fit.
If they could hear what comes out of the normal TV anchor nitwit.

haughtiest, today,
Form: Rhyme
The townsfolk had a vote and decided to banish the haughty queen
She was irritated beyond belief, and left quickly, with her ducky green.
Green introduced her to a fish tank of African fish, who would let her rule.
She was as arrogant as she wanted there, and no townspeople’s fool.
An arrogant fish tried to stare her down, got right up into her face.
The queen did not flinch, she held her own, this marvel, Queen Grace.
The rest of the fish tank watched, barely swirling a rose colored fin.
They wondered who was the haughtiest. Who would rule? Who would win?
She backed down the aggressive aquarium tank fish one after another.
A duck started toward her, but she was held back by her brother.
A tiny skeleton laughed at the arrogance of this new leader in town.
She was a unique ruler, this queen dressed in blues and in brown.
The townspeople looked for her for a bit, but no one looked at the fish.
She did not stir the water much, held still when inhabitants gave her a swish.
I am right here you idiots, she thought, as the common folk walked by.
They never had their eyes open, so why even try?

The Maddened Bee
She entered the hall with some snacks and coke
A creep gave a leering lecherous look
Walking down the dark aisle he gave a poke
My daughter gave him her haughtiest look
Before he could endeavour his next thought
A bottle broke his head in nasty sneer
Dripping coke caught him in devious spot
The burger crafted his face with loud cheer
Mad as a hornet she gave him a kick
Where he would remember the most in bed
The bruised lion for years later would lick
The maddened bee left his face infrared
I smiled in pride that the cub knew the law
Armour the self and let the crows caw-caw!

Human foible is not at heart,
within anyone’s sacred start.
But within one’s mind, the snooty,
supercilious, haughty parody.
Thus in the Monsoon’s rain,
the haughtiest, first feel the pain.
With their noses turned up in rain,
they must think drowning is a gain.
Awesome is good rain's retreat,
never life's lessons a repeat.
As for me I think love is neat,
useless are facades of feat.
When repetitions of one’s rain,
be repetitions of one’s pain.
Ask one’s self where is the gain,
from repetitions of strives vain!
Put vain strife into reverse,
turn and look into love’s purse.
Not one creature is of a curse,
but love in action is the verse.
