The Theme Music Blues!A Poem by Michael StevensGet ready to spew!The Baltimore riots are just the latest example
Of gut-turning repetitive
depression that comes
From turning on the T.V. to CNN
Bilge pump should be at the ready
All the American networks do it,
but only CNN, most of the time,
Plays their own depression-shadow music
to go with
The looped disaster they play over
and over, and over
Apparently, nothing else is happening,
anywhere!
I know I've complained about this
before,
But their nauseating drumbeat is
repeated with each
New disaster anywhere in the world,
although if it's
Here, look out, you'll get a migraine,
and The Theme Music Blues!
