seeking comfort for the coming week.

Female Newscaster
Written by: Catherine Reinke


Pretty faces
Boob jobs too
silicone lips
and higher shoes.
Porno stars,
contrived
cue cards.
Network news 
has gone to fair!

Lying teeth.
Blinding white.
What today 
is our plight?

Cleavage low.
Ratings soar.

 audience boar.

Murder and terror .
On she reads,
security level

I have grown up in the shadow of a tyrannical, overbearing man;

A virus was about to break, yet people
None the wiser ' at first he said no real

They held an election and 
nobody voted
Politicians complained they 
were grossly misquoted 
Atlas shrugged 
The world unplugged
Slipped violently way out of 
kilter. 
Tea cups tipped
Newscasters quipped
Walk don't run but please get 
to the shelter. 

Strategists tasked to come up...

Solemn newscasters retell
Accounts filled with sorrow.
More children lost
where they should have been safe.

Seven lives cut short by 
the careful planning of one.

We see Rachel’s tears

Excitement prevails,
Who is the next nut wick to go to jail?
Liars and cheats,
Oh, what a treat!
Is it just my surprise,

Murders for sale!
The more gruesome,
The better the...

In the Year 2023

Breathe in – Breathe out
Slurp the soup

Throw at least one snowball
Try to look like...

Still will scream, whilst we all softly dream, so...
