I've grown to hate the Evening News,

The "Daily poem" gives me the blues..

Particularly if the hack

Who perpetrates it shows a lack

Of feeling for rhyme (and even reason).

So, editor, let's have a season

Without these "Poems", a year or two!

I'm all for it - perhaps you too?

They are not really of the best

So give all "McGonagalls" a rest!

But wait a bit - ? do hold your horse,

Perhaps things might be even "worse":

To do this would create a space,

You might decide to fill its place,

To print another boring letter

From A ???Makara - no, NO, it's better

To stick to the arrangement as it stands,

Forget it. - Sorry!
