Aren't you just amazed that people can watch the late news, then drift off to a peaceful sleep? I began to think about this one night, as I opted to watch an old sitcom, instead of the late news because of that evening's depressing stories...
Haven't heard the news today
Haven't been briefed on the latest
Murder, rapes, criminal escapades
I feel so out of touch!
What, you might ask,
Do I get from the news?
Only a sense of gratitude
Glad that I was able to
Safely travel during my day.
I'm also struck by the duality
In the evening news
Breaking story, then bad news
Sports, weather and 'fill'-
The local pleasant side of life.
It seems they want
To make us all Schizophrenic
Hearing so many different spins
We grieve, empathize, condemn and laugh
All in a half hour timeslot.
Still I can't wait to know
What's going on in the news
I'm missing my daily dose
Of shock...and Thanksgiving.
A humorous look at the world and life through my eyes.
Follow the author and his wife, as they travel the world …. several times over.
Laugh at their funny stories, self-inflicted crazy events, strange observations, wacky zoo facts and snippets

"What's Going On In The News?" makes up for a good report on what to expect from the NEWS.
I did enjoy this, "What's Going On In The News?".
Healthy creative life, Poet.
