Turn that TV off. Spend time with real people.

New poem.
Or at least one I'm willing to post.
Selfish and kind of a downer, I know.
Just bear with me.
I'm sure you've felt like this, too, at times.

"The Bad News Song"
by Neil Mullins

Well I'm listening to songs
In minor key, obbligatos
And the news on the TV's all wrong,
Please hear me, my ostinato:

I never get any good news
I never get any good news
I never get any good news
At all...

Don't be mistaken
I'm happy for y'all
But the good news you've given
Is yours, read my scrawl:

I never get any good news
I never get any good news
I never get any good news
At all...

Would you change the channel?
Cuz I don't wanna see anymore
Don't need a control panel
To see this me, for the record:

I never get any good news
I never get any good news
I never get any good news
At all...
