Game Day on the News!

Oh, joy!

 

On and on, it seemingly has a life of it's own.

I turn on the T.V. and let out a groan,

 

 for now it seems to last around the clock.

 I'm talking of course about political speculation talk,

 

and talk, and talk some more about absolutely nothing.

Thrashing out what-ifs, endlessly--try talking about something,

 

anything else, like, I don't know, the other news of the day?

I guess wanting to launch rocks at the T.V. is the price we must pay?

 

When did the news morph into a sporting event,

with analysts and 'experts' causing resentment to ferment,

 

and bringing up things that were never even there?

Watching common sense disappear, by the rocket's red blare.

 

Politicians need jerseys so we can tell who they're playing for,

so we can root for our team to run up the score.

 

Go, team! While you're winning, we the people are not,

watching politicians act like children, takes more fortitude than I've got!
