Cokie Roberts
Cokie Roberts died a fine
reporter to the end.
If you’ve not heard of her
it’s probably because
you weren’t born when I was.
Her NPR morning voice,
my news station of choice,
was intelligently articulate.
A pioneering advocate
for many women’s causes
her reporting was flawless.
And if I may a pun intend
with the news of her fatal end
she met her final deadline
with a frontpage headline.
