Slow News Day
With everything that’s going on
At home and overseas
Covid and disturbances
Protestors on the streets
Our media must prioritise
‘Tween all the sorry tales
How they will inform us and
Remove ophthalmic scales
Today they have excelled themselves
In choices that they’ve made
Everywhere I look it’s there
Garishly displayed
In print, tv and internet
Not civil war or crime
But the cost of plastic bags in shops
Will increase in eight months time.
