Comment from Treischel

Excellent

You laid it on hard and heavy in a wonderful way with an irregular rhyme scheme and jagged verses the slipped and slashed like sucker punches. Fabulous alliteration. Compelling logic! Colorful images the seared with their heat. Needed admonition! Bravo!

Slam dunk, street punk
Big tits, smart ass wits, nothing fits
Slump shoulder, gettin' older
New file, sick style, pedophile, sneaky smile

Sound-bites
Talk fights, late nights, gay rights
Skin Tights
Creating heroes for our kids

Very clever and well written, with a strong message. Some favorites:

Another insignificant drip of non-think from the rusted faucet lips of the media

Deadly phrases that we wear like old shoes

They gotta tell us something morose to keep the money coming from Mr. Soros

Even if they keep us blind as a bat, our noses should still smell a dead rat - in other words, we should know better than to read that stuff

Good work.

This poem was amusing, erudite and totally true. Trying to pour information into minds that can't see any further than the TV screen. The other thing that gets me is the way they unman men. Men are now the care-givers, the ones with the aprons, cooking dinner. It's a terrible thing,
Every good wish, Mike

Very good His Grayness I like your thoughts

I never, could reason why the media like making up stories, refusing to run real stories. It's making themselves look like utter fools.
Which you did so well in your poem

Exceptional

Bravo Your Grayness! Truth is difficult to hear, so we look for it in the wrong places. I love the anger and indignation that this spews forth. It says what many of us wish to say; with elegance and grace.

Hi bgcnorth: Thanks so much for your generous six stars and your kind remarks about this poem. Clearly, I am frustrated and while I don't like to publish anything negative, I am really "honked" at the USA Media and overall corruption them and the government think we are too stupid to see through. We need to tell them NO when they keep trying to lie to us and abuse our intellegence. Glad you liked this and thanks again for your feedback. I hope you had a wondeful Christmas and that the New Year will be bright and prosperous for you. Please come back and visit often!!! All the best for now Vance

This is a witty, literate and uproariously funny condemnation of the yellow press. I thoroughly enjoyed it - but "bloviating"???
