{I’ll Say It Again}
The Morning Paper
I used to like to read the news...
I guess that I do still,
that is if I can find it
within the ads that fill.
A page and a half of ads
bar headlines from my view.
The sports page has the same
from news that has value.
And, then there are the stickers
to tell me of some sale.
To see the front page news beneath
I must peal to unveil.
The pages extra wide of ads
are never by me outspread.
All those gimmicks fill the trash
ere any worthy news is read.
The news is on the internet...
on radio and TV.
Take care, newspaper publishers
they too go with coffee.
