I Can’t Watch the News

Every night it leads the same:The muggings, the murders, The scandals, the floods. Tragedy always the head of the game. Quick to the scene At the first sight of blood. And though the excuses Might be loose and lame The sponsors insist that they Scrape through the mud To find the despicable, Drag them to fame and Drop them on me with a Thump and a thud.Now, don’t get me wrong, We all must be informed When trouble surround us We need to be warned. But spare the sensations When you blow the horn And just give us facts Without all the forlorn. Keep me abreast, yes, But please, skip the ruse. Otherwise, I simply Cannot watch the news.
